- socket-file-transfer

- file/ # Directory where received files are stored

- server.py # Server script (receives messages and files)

- client.py # Client script (sends messages and files) 

- README.md # Project documentation

- **server.py**:

  - Listens for incoming connections on **port 8002**.

  - Receives and prints messages sent by the client.

  - Receives files and stores them in the **file/** directory.

  - Sends confirmation messages to the client.

- **client.py**:
