Issues

As of now,

• Client can't receive the file if it the filename contains spaces.(one word files or files using snake_case)

• No indication if a file is being sent or received from the GUI

Only shows after that the file has been sent on server. ON client it shows where the file has been saved.

• Currently slow when sending larger files

• Only transfers on file at a time. ~You have to disconnect to send a different one
