gotransfer

An RPC-based file transfer client and server written in Go.

How to Build

Clone the repository and run the following command to build the binary:

go build

This will generate an executable file named gotransfer.

gotransfer operates in two modes: client and server.

To serve files, start the application in server mode.

./gotransfer -mode server -dir /path/to/serve/files -addr :12427

-mode: Set to server.
-dir: The directory containing the files to be served (defaults to ./).
-addr: The address and port for the server to listen on (defaults to :12427).

To download a file from the server, start the application in client mode.

./gotransfer -mode client -remotefile a.txt -localfile b.txt -addr 127.0.0.1:12427

This will download a.txt from the server and save it as b.txt on the client side.
