SFSGL (Simple File Sharing Gathering Library)

Description

This is a simple file sharing and gathering library. It provides a simple interface to share and gather files. The library is implemented using Flask and Flask-RESTful. The library provides two interfaces, one for sharing files and the other for gathering files. The library is implemented in a way that it can be used as a standalone application. The main purpose of this library is applying programming course assignments and quizes in a safe and secure way (without using of ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.). For example in your lab if you have an intranet you can share your programming assignments with your students and gather their solutions without using any other tools. They only reach your server they can't connect outside of the lab network.
