Simple File Transfer Web Server

This project is a simple web server that allows transferring files between a client and a server. The server lets the user upload files from their local system to the server, as well as download files from the server's public folder.

A key feature includes an index.html file which provides an interface for selecting the files to be uploaded, and lists available files in the server's public folder.

Features

• Upload files to the server
• Download files from the server
• List all available files on the server

Technology Stack

The application uses Express.js as the web framework and Multer for handling multipart/form-data, which is primarily used for uploading files.
