Local-file-transfer-with-Python

Send files using Python on the same WIFI or Online

1. Run the server_send_file.py first and enter the [filename.type] to send.
2. Run the client_recv_file.py next and enter the Server's IP address as shown in the server_send_file cmd prompt

2 ways for online connectivity:

Single port forwarding (Insecure) or port triggering (More secure)

Single port forwarding:

"if a client comes looking for a configured port it will be forwarded to a configured machine (static IP address)" ---This port configured will always be open and vulnerable to possible attacks.

Port triggering:

"the port in the configured port range will only open when the host runs the server" ---This port will close when the server is terminated

For these methods, only the host can run the server as currently the client is the one looking for the port.

This can be improved by modifying the script to include sending and receiving inputs.
