partner id - integer (less than 10) defines the partners id and the port to connect to (default: 1, must not be 0)
client ip - ip the server waiting for new connections will listen to (default: 127.0.0.1)
partner ip - the ip to connect to (default: 127.0.0.1)

sending messages and files:

[ID] [MESSAGE] - ID must only have 1 digit, message is the message send to the id, id 0 will send a broadcast
