Socket pair for FTP like file transfer

Single binary containing both server and client. The server can't be hosted on a mobile hotspot network due to the firewalling of most cellular networks. Despite this the client side can still obviously be used even on those scenarios.

Installation and usage

Quickly run with:

cargo run -- <OPTIONS>

or create and run an optimized, independent binary:

cargo build --release
./target/release/fragilebyte <OPTIONS>

If no options are specified the app starts as a server by default. It can be started as a client by defining a target address:
