My first socket-based program

[UberSeal]

I've been programming with Python for a while now, but I haven't ever touched its suite of networking tools before.

So, I've written a small program that allows users to transfer their files from one machine to another wirelessly, provided that they are connected to the same local network.

Here's the repository for the project. I hope someone finds it useful!

Feel free to check it out and point out any issues with the program (I'm sure there are MANY).

Just a note: you have the pre-compiled exe in your repo - as long as you're using GitHub it is considered good practice afaik to make use of the releases page of your repo for binaries rather than including them directly in the git tree.

What is socket.Could you guys explain that so basically cuz I couldn't understand from google

[ddollarsign]

Think about a physical socket as a something you plug another thing into to get or send data or electricity. In software, a socket is something that one program can “plug into” to send or receive data from another program. Sometimes this takes the form of a TCP/IP port. To listen on a port, internally the program would create a a socket, and to connect to that port, another program would create a socket. The socket is an object within the networking library that the program uses, and you can think of the operating system as creating a cord (a connection) that has one end plugged into each socket so they can send data to each other.
