# rft

This project is a Rust implementation of a **Robust File Transfer (RFT)** protocol, designed for reliable file transfer over UDP.

This implementation follows the RFT protocol specification outlined here: https://nstangl.github.io/robust-file-transfer/.

# Installation

Clone the repository and build it via:

```bash

cargo build --release

```

The compiled binary for the CLI will be available in the `target/release` directory.

# Usage

To start the server, use the following command with a port of you choosing:

```bash

./rft --server --port 8088

```

To transfer files use the client:

```bash

./rft --port 8088 127.0.0.1 my-dir/File1.txt my-dir/File2.txt

```

The file paths are expected to be the same for the client and the server.

The logging levels (`debug`, `error`, `warn`, `info`) can be specified via `env` variables:

```bash

RUST_LOG=warn ./rft --port 8088 127.0.0.1 my-dir/File1.txt

```

For more details, run

```bash

./rft --help

```

Happy transferring! 🚀
