I want to ask, why I cannot transfer file from server to client? When I start to send the file from server, the client side program will have problem. So, I spend some times to check the code, But I still cannot find out the problem Can anyone point out the problem for me?

CLIENTFILE.C

#include stdio.h
#include stdlib.h
#include time.h
#include netinet/in.h
#include fcntl.h
#include sys/types.h
#include string.h
#include stdarg.h
#define PORT 5678
#define MLEN 1000
int main(int argc, char *argv [])
{

        int sockfd;
        int number,message;
        char outbuff[MLEN],inbuff[MLEN];
        //char PWD_buffer[_MAX_PATH];
        struct sockaddr_in servaddr;
        FILE *fp;
        int numbytes;  
        char buf[2048];



        if (argc != 2)
                fprintf(stderr, "error");

        if ( (sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
                fprintf(stderr, "socket error");

        memset(&servaddr, 0, sizeof(servaddr));
        servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        servaddr.sin_port = htons(PORT);

        if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &servaddr, sizeof(servaddr)) < 0)
                fprintf(stderr, "connect error");

        if ( (fp = fopen("/home/na/nall9047/write.txt", "w")) == NULL){
                perror("fopen");
                exit(1);
        }
        printf("Still NO PROBLEM!\n");

        //Receive file from server
        while(1){
                numbytes = read(sockfd, buf, sizeof(buf));
                printf("read %d bytes, ", numbytes);

                if(numbytes == 0){
                        printf("\n");
                        break;
                }
                numbytes = fwrite(buf, sizeof(char), numbytes, fp);
                printf("fwrite %d bytes\n", numbytes);
        }

        fclose(fp);
        close(sockfd); 
        return 0;
}
