Let me see if I understand your question.... you want to make a client-server file transfer without using a client?

This is a kind of a catch! I tried to explain it the way OP could understand, in my answer -- please see.

That's usually a P2P connection ;)

What P2P? OP wants "without a client". Would be good to understand what it supposed to mean... :-)
Anyway, I tried to answer, please see.

Obviously, the person doesn't quite understand what he is asking, let alone how to implement something like that, but i believe he meant a type of connection that requires no server, which would be P2P.

Agree...

Not that "without any client" is possible or not, it just makes no sense. If you have two or more hosts communicating using IP, there is always at least one process on each host, because something needs to work with networking hardware; usually the application code does it through socket API. You can call some of those processes servers, some clients, some play the role of both, but there is no such situation like "without". What could it possibly mean? Just as I said, makes no sense.

If you have some particular problem or behavior you need to achieve, ask about that, but it's good not to use terms you don't understand.
