# Rust TCP Client-Server Communication
This repository contains a simple implementation of a TCP client-server communication in Rust. The communication involves sending and receiving messages between a server and multiple clients.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- Rust programming language: [Install Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
### Running the Server
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tusharpamnani/Terminal-Chat-App.git
cd Terminal-Chat-App
```
2. Build and run the server:
```bash
cargo run --bin server
```
### Running the Client
1. Open a new terminal window.
2. Clone the repository (if not done already):
```bash
git clone https://github.com/tusharpamnani/Terminal-Chat-App.git
cd Terminal-Chat-App
```
3. Build and run the client:
```bash
cargo run --bin client
```
## Usage
- The server listens for incoming connections on `127.0.0.1:6000`.
- Multiple clients can connect to the server simultaneously.
- Type messages in the client terminal and press Enter to send them to the server.
- Type `:quit` in the client terminal to exit the client.
- The server displays received messages from clients in its terminal.
