Aircache

Description

This will allow two or more users to share files directly between one another without the use of a server to host the data.

Server Versions

Currently, there are two implementations of the aircache server:

• Node.js: This is the proof-of-concept implementation. It was written in node so that features could be implemented quickly. This version will see features first.
• C: This is the production implementation of the server. It is designed to be compiled to an extremely lightweight binary and run without the need for shared libraries.

Compiling the C Implementation

• Navigate to the server/c_implementation directory
• Run make all
