Overview

DFS is a distributed file storage application written in Go. It enables multiple nodes to share and store files across a network, providing redundancy and scalability. The system currently uses TCP as its transport protocol for communication and file data transfer between nodes. DFS is designed to be modular, making it easy to extend or swap out components such as transport layers or storage backends in the future.

---

Features

• End-to-End Encryption: All file transfers are protected using end-to-end encryption based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm, ensuring data privacy and security between nodes.
• Fast File Sharing: Efficient protocols enable rapid file distribution and retrieval across the network.
• Redundant Storage: Files are replicated across multiple nodes to provide fault tolerance and high availability.
• Modular Architecture: Easily extend or replace core components such as transport protocols or storage backends.
• Scalable Design: Supports seamless scaling as new nodes join the network.
• Simple CLI Usage: Intuitive command-line interface for managing files and nodes.
