Peer to peer communication made easy

Catalyst

Peer to peer communication made easy

Libraries and stacks used

• Flask as the webFramework
• flask_compress module to compress the static files during runtime
• socket library for p2p communication

How does it work?

1. Sender and the receiver should be on the same local network.
2. Sender runs the application and enters the path of the particular file or a directory which he wishes to send, ans then he waits for the receiver to receive the file
   Note: pwd command can be used to obtain the path of the directory.
3. The receive receives the file by entering the IP address of the sender.
