Client and server, based on TCP for file sharing.
Written in Python 2.7 on Linux.

Installation

Clone the repo:

Usage

Simulation of user1 sharing a file with user2:

Step #1:
Prepare a folder to simulate user1 with a file to transfer, and a folder to simulate user2.
Run the server on a chosen port from the folder of user2, using the following command:
user2:~$ python server.py <server-port>

Step #2:
From user1 run the client on mode 0 for Listening Mode, and specify the server's IP and port, and the listening port, using the following command:
user1:~$ python client.py 0 <server-ip> <server-port> <listening-port>

Step #3:
From user2 run the client on mode 1 for User Mode, and specify the server's IP and port, using the following command:
user2:~$ python client.py 1 <server-ip> <server-port>

Step #4:
Search for a file name in double quotation marks, for example: "a".

Step #5:
Select the desired file by specifying its number, for example: 1.

And the file was transferred to user2 folder!
