-
The python script for file upload and transfer. All you have to do here is input your password for sudo.
Though no further interaction is needed, this terminal will display information on your file upload and transfer.

The following steps must take place for your task to be completed:
-
Submit your task with filename

Wait for your file to finish hosting
