The project is composed of two folder representing the two way to send a file using the local network. User have to give args to the program to use it : IP Adress, Port, File to send.

A unix distribution and a C compiler : gcc.

How to compile the applications (Quick mode !)

Ready !

You can now use the program client to send your file and server to receive the file.
