Not able to connect my local system client socket to cloud based socket server

Question

Below is my server.py file which runs on cloud based ubuntu system.

import socket

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

host = socket.gethostbyname(socket.gethostname())
port = 5555

s.bind((host, port))
s.listen(1)

print("Server started host={} port={}".format(host, port))

while True:
    print('>>>>>>>>>> inside the while')
    c, addr = s.accept()
    print("Got connection from", addr)
    c.send(bytes("Thank you", "utf-8"))

Now the below is my local system client.py file :

import socket
s = socket.socket()
s.connect(('my_cloud_server_ip/ssh',5555))
s.recv(1024)

Error which I am getting this:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

So is there anything wrong with the code or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try binding to all networks by setting host='0.0.0.0'.

In general I suggest you follow this tutorial Socket Programming in Python (Guide) to use with for starting connections and such.
