To run the server, simply run the command
java myfileserver.java
from the project directory.
To run the client(s), simply run the command
java myfileclient.java"host_ip" port_number "filename"
from the project directory. In this example, we use "localhost" 8000 "ascii.txt" for our arguments.
The myfileclient.java file contains the big SocketHandling class; where all of the socket and IO streaming code exists. It also has its main functions that call for the arguments for server IP, port number, and file name.
There is also a folder name downloads along with the java file, where the downloaded files from the server are stored.
The myfileserver.java file contains the multiThreadServer class; where we handle all of our server/client socket, multi-threading, and thread queuing code. The ClientWorkerThread, which is ran by the multiThreadServer class on demand, contains all of our server function code when communicating with the client.
There is also a folder name files which contains all the data from the server that a client could download when contacting the server.
The server has its port hard coded at port 8000.
