python network client server communication problem

am trying to a file in this chase an image between a server and a client but the image comes out on the client side broken in some way and it can't be viewed

note: i didn't understand how to add code in any other way so am adding it like this if there is a batter way to add code for the viewing of others please late me know :)

sever side code ------------------------------------------------

import socket
from PIL import ImageGrab
import os

s_server = socket.socket()
s_server.bind(('0.0.0.0',8820))

s_server.listen(2)

c_sock, c_addr = s_server.accept()
print c_sock,c_addr


path = r'C:\Cyber\server\screenshot.jpeg'
im = ImageGrab.grab()
im.save(path)

c_req = c_sock.recv(1024)
if c_req == 'image':
    with open(path,'rb') as f:
        data = f.read()
        length = len(data)
        c_sock.sendall(data)

else:
     with open(path,'rb') as f:
        data = f.read()
        length = len(data)
        c_sock.sendall(str(length))




s_server.close()
c_sock.close()

client side code--------------------------------------------------

import socket
import os

c_sock = socket.socket()
c_sock.connect(('127.0.0.1',8820))

path = r'C:\Cyber\client\screen.jpeg'

# c_sock.send('filezise')
# filesize = c_sock.recv(1024)


c_sock.send('image')
data = c_sock.recv(1024)
with open(path,'wb') as f:
    # print filesize
    while data :
        data = c_sock.recv(1024)
        f.write(data)
