Valgrind's error message - c

I got "Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" , and it is coming from function process_server(). I have tried to figure out where it is coming, but to no avail.
Message from valgrind.

Sending files from a client to a server and then reading the file in another client using sockets in C

There are two clients and a server in the application. The two clients communicate with each other via the server. When one client sends a message to the server, the server stores the message as a text file in the server, where file name is clientid_timestamp.txt. The server then sends the file to the other client that reads the file and displays its content on its terminal.
I have written the code for the client and the server given below.The issue that I am facing is that the client is not able to get the file from the server print it's contents.It doesn't show an output in the terminal.

EDIT-1
I have made the changes suggested by the user stackinside and the code now works , but I have being facing a new issue for the past few hours and I am not able to wrap my head around it as what could the reason for it.
The issue that arises now is that the client is only able to send the message once to other client and vice versa and then it is not able to send any more messages except a new line.The updated code based on the changes I made

EDIT-2
So now I changed the fgets to freads and removed all the unnecessary bzero and changed the strlen to sizeof as suggested by the comments of user207421 , Martin James and stackinside .It finally works , I agree there is still a lot of room for optimisation , but it works for now and thanks for the effort.

Server side:
send_file(clients[i]->uid); ought to be send_file(clients[i]->sockfd);
fclose(f); should probably go before send_message(buff_out, cli->uid);
Client side:
printf("%s\n",ptr); (before if(bytes_received==-1)) ought to be removed
There are other inconsistencies, unused variables, etc. This reivew is very limited.

multi threaded file transfer with socket problem

what I want to make is the multi-client,server file transfer with socket.
it compiled well and seems realistic.
But Problem is, Code won't act properly and client don't send file to server folder.
I don't know what is the problem.
Can anybody see code and tell what is the problem?
it would be grateful if you change my code also.

You throw away the return value of recv, which is the only way to know how many bytes of data you received. So the rest of your code has no idea what data you actually received.
Then you pass the chunk of data you read to strcmp. But it's just a chunk of arbitrary data. It's not a string. You cannot pass something to strcmp unless it's a string.
You are missing a message protocol. Your client is supposed to send messages and your server needs to process messages. To do this, you need a message protocol that defines what a message is and then you need to write code to send and receive messages.
The recv function has no idea what your messages are and has no way to know where the message ends.
Since you're not experienced at using TCP, you should always start by specifying the protocol the server and client will use on top of TCP. If it's a message protocol, define specifically how messages will be represented on the wire. It may be helpful to look at the specifications for existing protocols layered on top of TCP such as SMTP or HTTP.
Otherwise, use a library that provides functions to send and receive messages instead of trying to use TCP directly.

Second recv call doesn't receive data, halts the execution in C

The problem is that in the client, my second recv() call, where it is supposed to receive the contents of a file, shows nothing. The programs halts at that point, but the server programs displays that it has sent the file contents. The client doesn't receive it.
The basic problem is that you're not checking the return values to see how much data you actually sent and received. So when the client calls:
rec_msg=recv(s,msg,sizeof(msg),0);
it will receive up to sizeof(msg) (512) bytes, which is probably both the OK message the server is sending AND the file contents (after the NUL). Which means when it does a second recv call to get the contents, it blocks, because it already read the contents in the first call and there's no more data waiting in the receive buffer.
Your error-checking is haphazard, and consequently you're certainly missing a problem that occurs before the behavior you're observing. I recommend you follow RW Steven's idiom:
int n;
if( (n = recv(new_s, buf, sizeof(buf), 0)) < 0 ) {
err(EXIT_FAILURE, "recv %d", __LINE__);
}
Test every function call, and handle every error. For simple programs, just call err(3) on error. Do that consistently, and the program's behavior will be much less mysterious (if still occasionally surprising). And don't be afraid of the spacebar! It's easy to hit, and easier still to read.
My other bit of advice, if I may, concerns
int send_file_name,rec_msg;
Names like that are confusing. A name is almost never an integer. For I/O sizes, just use one simple name like n, len, or size. Even if you don't care for yourself, you want to care before publishing your question in an open forum. Otherwise, when people see
send_file_name=send(s,filename,strlen(filename)+1,0);
they may think send is some function other than send(2), or that the person asking the question was careless.
The main problem I see is that neither the client nor the server are handling socket I/O correctly in general. They are not handling the cases where reads and writes transfer fewer bytes then requested, you need to loop the I/O. And the client is reading too many bytes from the server anyway, which is why your second recv() is blocking. And you are relying on a disconnect to indicate the end of the file has been reached, but that does not allow the client to do adequate error checking to know if the full file was actually received or not.
Also, when sending the content of a file, the server is attempting to read the entire file into memory (bad!), not doing adequate error checking on the file I/O, and it is treating the file content as text instead of as binary (don't use strlen() on binary data!).
Try something more like this instead:

Capital ÅÄÖ not printing correctly

I'm baffled by an issue i'm having when trying to get UTF-8 and swedish characters ÅÄÖ to print correctly in a UNIX-talk clone.
I've set the locale with setLocale() to sv_SE and i'm using wide characters to try to display the characters correctly, lowercase åäö works just fine but somehow the capital variant does not work.
Below is the code in its entirety, i suspect that there is something i'm missing with the character sizes in reader() sender() or putch().

If you want to try out the program compile it as follows:
gcc file.c -lpthread -lncurses
To serve:
./a.out 1234
To connect:
./a.out 1234 localhost
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Actually, wchar_t is enough bits, and sign-extension problems do not appear likely.
However, the application using ncurses in two threads (sender and reader), and unless you have compiled it specially and allowed for mutexes, it won't work well. ncurses (like any implementation of curses) uses global variables for maintaining the screen. Multiple threads will exercise the library in unexpected ways.

5.7 (2 November 2008). This provides rudimentary support for threaded applications. It also distributes tack separately.

Try using unsigned char instead of int in your functions.
In putch, you do not need wchar_t, unsigned char (one byte) is fine in UTF-8 (http://www.science.co.il/language/Character-code.asp?s=1252).

Sockets behavior differently between BSD (Mac OS X and OpenBSD) and Linux (Ubuntu)

I wrote a man-in-the-middle/proxy server initially on my mac. Essentially the proxy creates a socket and waits for a connection, then connects to another application. This works flawlessly on in OS X and in OpenBSD; however, when porting the proxy to Ubuntu, it doesn't work as intended.
There is two instances of this proxy running, listening on two separate ports. When this is ran on Ubuntu, all the traffic goes through a single port. I also run into a problem when setting the socket to nonblocking (through fcntl) that sometimes it fails with "Invalid Argument"
I am using sys/socket.
Any pitfalls during this port that I am missing?
EDIT:
I believe there are two problems. One being the Invalid Argument, the other being that traffic is being pushed to different ports.
Service 1 binds to Proxy instance 1 which then binds back to the appropriate service on the black box, which kicks off service 2. However, for some reason on Ubuntu it connects to the Instance 1 which is listening on the incorrect port.
EDIT Solution to Invalid Argument for fcntl:
Found out why i was getting the invalid argument, sadly i'm still having the other issue.
fcntl(fd, cmd, arg)
cmd - F_SETFL(long)
I was passing in a pointer to an int instead of the long primitive.

Just a guess, but I think your problem is the way you're handling the injection socket. I don't know what you deleted in the // TRUNCATED code block, but basically what you're doing is this:
// Parent process -- bind & listen on the injection socket
injfd = socket(...);
bind(injfd, ...);
listen(injfd, ...);
...
while (1)
{
client = wait_for_connection();
...
if (!fork())
{
// Each child process
...
if (stuff && FD_ISSET(injfd, &R)) {
new_socket = accept(injfd);
...
}
...
}
...
}
In other words, all of your child processes are listening on the same injection socket and trying to accept connections. I'm not sure if this even well-defined behavior, but even in the best case, when a new connection arrives on the injection port, the process that is going to accept the connection could be random and uncontrollable. It could be any of the child processes or even the parent process.
In order to control that behavior, you need to decide who should be listening for connections on the injection socket. If only the parent should be listening, then only the parent should call accept() on it or pass it as an argument to select(). Likewise, if only a particular child should be listening, then only that child should call accept() or pass it to select(). All other processes that are ignoring that socket should close() it at their earliest convenience (e.g. immediately after fork() returns) to avoid leaking file descriptors.
Turns out that SO_REUSEADDR socket option was the issue. I removed me setting that socket option and everything worked out.
This Lead me to the solution.
