i'd agree with others that its easier to send the file directly to another client and the client ask the user where to save it afterwards
open a file at the selected location and write the received byte stream to it

you can send the file/byte stream via client -> client or client -> server -> client, its a uni project so the efficiency won't matter as much rite ?

to do it via ftp, you only need 1 ftp server, each client that wants to send a file will connect to the ftp server and upload the file, notify the destinated client and the client will connect to the ftp, download it.
