File Transfer CLI Tool

A CLI tool for sending and receiving files over TCP, built using Rust and Tokio. This tool allows you to send files to a remote address or receive files from a remote sender.

Features

• Send Files: Transfer files to a specified address.
• Receive Files: Listen for incoming file transfers and save them to a specified directory.

Installation

1. Install Rust: Ensure you have Rust installed on your machine. If not, you can install it via rustup:

   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

2. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/purushoath02/Transfer.git
   cd Transfer

3. Build the Project:

   cargo build --release

   This will create an executable in the target/release directory.

Usage

Create Reciever

Run the command

./target/release/Transfer receive

You will get the address of receiver.

Sending a File

To send the file to the receiver, use the following command:

./target/release/Transfer send <file_path> <address>
