 Client-side gRPC is pretty simple. In this step, we'll use the generated code
 to write a simple client that can access the `Greeter` server we created
 in the [previous section](#server). You can see the complete client code in
-[GreeterClient.java](java/src/main/java/ex/grpc/GreeterClient.java).
+[HelloWorldClient.java](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/examples/src/main/java/io/grpc/examples/HelloWorldClient.java).
 
 Again, we're not going to go into much detail about how to implement a client;
 we'll leave that for the tutorial.
