# DirectoryScanService

This repository contains two submodule projects that work together to transfer files over a simple TCP-based protocol.

## Clone With Submodules

Use `--recurse-submodules` when cloning so both projects are checked out automatically:

```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.timoniemann.de/t/DirectoryScanService.git
```

If you already cloned the repository without submodules:

```bash
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

## Projects

- [`DirectoryScanSender`](./DirectoryScanSender)  
  Scans a directory recursively and sends eligible files to a TCP server.  
  README: [`DirectoryScanSender/README.md`](./DirectoryScanSender/README.md)

- [`DirectoryScanReceiver`](./DirectoryScanReceiver)  
  Runs a TCP server that receives file data and writes it into an output directory.  
  README: [`DirectoryScanReceiver/README.md`](./DirectoryScanReceiver/README.md)

## How They Fit Together

- `DirectoryScanSender` is the client that sends files.
- `DirectoryScanReceiver` is the server that accepts and stores them.
- Both use the same simple delimiter-based message format and default TCP port (`7156`).
