About
It's so easy to lose your precious data — unless you store it on a server. Besides, file servers allow you to access your files remotely, no matter where you are. In this project, you will create your own file server, even though a simple one.
Training project
This project allows you to practice and strengthen your coding skills, helping you get ready for more advanced tasks ahead.
What you'll learn
Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:
For a start, write a program that simulates the work of a file storage server.
Time to practice using sockets: establish a client-server connection and learn how to handle errors on your server.
Save a simple text file on your server: enter the name and the contents of the file and save it.
Upgrade your server so that it can handle any type of files using multithreading and serialization.
