How does it works?

Signaling Channel: Written in node.js (filetransfer-server.js)
  1. Client connects to server
  2. Server fetches client's username
  3. Server assigns id to client and adds it to userList
  4. Server returns the other online users
  5. Transfer SDP
Data Channel: Uses webRTC (filetransfer.js)
  1. Transfer Data between 2 peers (Serverless)
  2. Two channels one for send & one for receive
  3. For receiving channel callback, parse files, gather chunks and save the whole received file For sending channel, create chunks from file and send Them over datachannel.
