Beta tested on localhost (windows)
recommended for sharing small files only
transfer speeds can be slow considering this program isn't using any multi-threading.
receive.py(server) must be running before send.py(client) to establish a connection.
if not, it will most likely return a WinError-10061 (on windows).
To get started you need to have 2 directories called "send" and "receive"
on your working directory
You can either create them manually or you can call for an empty object
from either SocketServer or SocketClient
which will generate the required directories and test files.
make sure to remove any test objects before instantiating either
the working server or client objects because the singleton design will only allow
one instance/object per class from both SocketServer and SocketClient.
in case of an unknown error check your log file from (./logs)
they will most likely contain the type of the error, name of the method in which
the said error originated and the time of the error.
