- Client-server app whose purpose is to transfer files from a server machine across one or multiple other client machines. The application includes two main modules - server module and client module - each one having its own UI which can be deployed independently on separate workstations. The main aim of the project was to provide an application that could facilitate file transfers throughout the network, from the server to the selected client instances, by removing redundancies and similar actions and by offering users the possibility to define certain sets of parameters and to exploit the application's features through a minimum of actions. The application written in Java SE 1.6 under Eclipse Juno IDE. The client-server communication was established by implementing a java.net library with standard Java sockets. The application is based on a MySQL database, the connection to the database and data processing instances being carried out with JDBC.
