Gevent based simple File Transfer Library

Problem Statement

Two applications (written in python) - one reads a file and sends it over the network to the other application, which stores the file into its CWD. How would you do it (without using a framework that already does this)? L4 protocol of choice would be UDP, the reliability part is your duty

Solution

Sender side is implemented as UDP clients via gevent.sockets, revceiver side is implemented using gevent.server.DatagramServer. I created 4 packet types on the top of UDP for TCP like features. This is to avoid data corruption of files due to problems relating to UDP. Essentially pygftlib introduces sequencing and acknowledgement mechanism to ensure reliability.

Install

sudo -H python3 install setup.py

Demo

$ pygftlib receive
