Use Python for Socket Programming to connect two or more PCs to share a text file.

#At the client side...
import socket
import time
HOST = '10.5.10.16'   # Symbolic name meaning the local host. When connecting two different machines, use the ip address of the host machine.
PORT = 24070 # Arbitrary non-privileged port
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((HOST,PORT))
print '***** CLIENT IS READY NOW*********';
while True:
    command = raw_input('Enter your filename: ')
   
    fil=open(command,"r")
    buf=fil.read()
    print '************SERVER IS READY***********';
    time.sleep(10);
    print '**** THE CLIENT HAS SUCCESSFULLY DELIVER THE CONTENT OF FILE *****';
    s.send(buf)
   
    reply = s.recv(1024)
    if reply=='Quit':
        break
    print reply
