• Users must be able to search for files in the server using regex.
• Enable authentication for uploading/downloading/removing files.
• Encrypt the files being transfered using (AES-256).

Note(For all modes):

Use Python for the server. You are not allowed to use any third-party libraries for implementing the file server and client. Consult your mentor before using any libraries. You are allowed to use the pycrypto library for AES encryption.
