This is client.c
I want to solve the problem with Server.c, but it can't handle multiple clients simultaneously. When I am trying to take input from second client, it hang. The second client begins working after first client done his job.

Answer 1

I see several errors in the code.
When I compile server.c, I get this warning from clang:
server.c:128:32: warning: using the result of an assignment as a condition without parentheses [-Wparentheses]
if (nbytes = recv(i, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0) <=0) {
I think you intended this instead:
if ((nbytes = recv(i, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0)) <=0)
Also on line 137 you have this:
if (FD_ISSET(j, &master)) {
... but master doesn't contain the results of your latest pselect() operation, so you probably wanted to do this instead:
if (FD_ISSET(j, &read_fds)) {
Once I corrected those two problems, I could connect to your server with telnet localhost 25000 and get reasonable behavior from it.
However, connecting with your client program resulted in only the first entered line of text being received. That is because your client blocks inside recv(sockfd, buffer, BUFSIZE, 0), and therefore will not process any further lines of text entered into stdin until after it has received some data from the server. If that's intentional behavior, then it's okay, but if you were intending for the clients to be able to send data to the server whenever the user enters text into stdin, you should probably update your client program to use select() in a way similar to how your server does. (On POSIX OS's [not Windows], you can have select() monitor STDIN_FILENO and treat stdin as if it was any other file-descriptor)
