Peer-to-Peer File Sharing

This project is a simple peer-to-peer file sharing application. It uses Express for the server, and PeerJS for peer-to-peer networking.

The application consists of two pages:

• Page A (http://localhost:8000/a): This page allows a user to select a file and send it to another user. The file is encrypted before being sent and decrypted after being received. The user can also download the received file.

• Page B (http://localhost:8000/b): This page allows a user to receive files from another user. The user can also download the received file.

The application uses a PeerJS server (http://localhost:9000/myapp) to handle the peer-to-peer connections.
