The question says to use a socket connection to allow a user to specify a file name and have the server send the contents of that file or indicate that the file does not exist.

This is what I have so far and I know its not right, im not sure where to make changes or what to add.

When I try to compile it I just get a error that says “ cannot find symbol setTextFieldEditable( true ); “…Why is that..?

Any help will be appreciated, it seems Im a bit lost.
