local file saver

Aim of project is to be able to send data from one device to another over local connection.
Wi-Fi setup at home is common and so this project is based on Wi-Fi setup.
The server is the central location where files on the same network can send files to.

Usage

1. Start up server on destination(central) device: npm run start
2. Open ip/[path] on source device. ("External" IP address shown in command line output) ./index.html => Send files. ./server/index.html => Webpage showing the destination including a QR code for mobile devices.
3. Open file and press save.

To Do

• No reason to use PHP due to being run locally. Should move PHP code out and implement Node.js instead.
• Specify API for external linking.
• Add tests.

Local server

• Server running PHP required.
• It is possible to start up a local server with external ip information displayed using browser-sync(separate installation required) + server running PHP(XAMPP, etc.).
• Example: browser-sync start --no-ghost-mode --proxy http://localhost:80
