This project implements a simple file transfer system using Python 3.11 and TCP sockets. It allows a client to send messages and files to a server, which receives and stores them in a designated directory.

Technologies Used

• Python 3.11 – The primary programming language.
• Sockets – Used for communication between the client and server over TCP.
• OS Module – Handles file operations such as saving received files.
