Transmit/Receive - Data Sync Tool

Transmit-Receive is a C# application designed for reliable and secure file transfer across a network using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This toolset includes two components: the Transmitter and the Receiver, which work together to exchange data between systems. Both applications run on Windows and provide a user-friendly interface for reliable, orderly and error-checked file transfers. You can easily select files, choose save locations and monitor transfer progress in real-time.

How It Works

1. Transmitter:

   • Selects the files you want to send.
   • Initiates a connection to the Receiver.
   • Breaks down the file into packets and sends them across the network.

2. Receiver:

   • Listens on a predefined port for incoming file transfers.
   • Reconstructs the received packets back into the original file.
   • Saves the file to a user-specified directory.

In order to use Transmit-Receive, ensure you have .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher installed on your system. You can build and run the application using Visual Studio 2022 or any compatible development environment.

Getting Started

Application: Receiver

1. Launch the Receiver Application:

   • Open the Receiver application. Once launched, it will automatically start listening on Port 1234 for incoming file transfers.

2. Select a Save Location:

   • Click the Browse button to open a folder selection dialog.
   • Navigate to and choose the folder where you want to save incoming files.
   • After selecting the folder, the path will be displayed in the text box, indicating the destination for received files.

Application: Transmitter

1. Launch the Transmitter Application:

   • Start the Transmitter application after the Receiver is set up and ready.

2. Select a File to Send:

   • Click the Browse button to open a file selection dialog.
   • Navigate to and select the file you wish to send.
   • The selected file's path will be shown in the text box.

After the Receiver displays the message File has been received, the file will be available in the selected save location.

Important: Make sure to run both applications as an administrator. Otherwise, Windows might block the file transfers, causing the applications not to work properly.
