Write to remote file using TCP - c

Question

I am working on a server/client program for a project, for it to be able to work properly I need to use fopen and fprintf on the client. The server is going to take realtime data output from a USB joystick (the axis rotations) and send that information via TCP to the client which in turn writes that information to a file. I have followed THIS tutorial to get the TCP setup and its working perfectly. I am able to send messages from the server to the client. How can I take a command such as fprintf(fp, "2=%d\n", zAxis) from the server and send it to the client to be wrote to a file? Maybe I am overlooking something simple to accomplish this. I don't know where to begin, if I can send the zAxis variable from the server to the client I think I can figure it out from there.
Here is my code

#define PORTNUM 2343
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char msg1[10];
printf("Please enter info\n");
fgets(msg1, 20, stdin);
struct sockaddr_in dest; /* socket info about the machine connecting to us */
struct sockaddr_in serv; /* socket info about our server */
int mysocket; /* socket used to listen for incoming connections */
socklen_t socksize = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
memset(&serv, 0, sizeof(serv)); /* zero the struct before filling the fields */
serv.sin_family = AF_INET; /* set the type of connection to TCP/IP */
serv.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); /* set our address to any interface */
serv.sin_port = htons(PORTNUM); /* set the server port number */
mysocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
/* bind serv information to mysocket */
bind(mysocket, (struct sockaddr *)&serv, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
/* start listening, allowing a queue of up to 1 pending connection */
listen(mysocket, 1);
int consocket = accept(mysocket, (struct sockaddr *)&dest, &socksize);
while(consocket)
{
printf("Incoming connection from %s - sending welcome\n", inet_ntoa(dest.sin_addr));
send(consocket, msg1, strlen(msg1), 0);
consocket = accept(mysocket, (struct sockaddr *)&dest, &socksize);
}
close(consocket);
close(mysocket);
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}`
