Transferring files to a fast computer on the network and queuing the files for rendering

The task I want to accomplish is to send a copy of the opened file, transfer it to a location on the server, and for the fast render farm pc to open it, render the file, then close itself, essentially dumping all hardware intensive tasks onto one computer.

I also want to make sure that only one file is rendered/opened at a time.

What do I need to know to accomplish this ? How would you go about this ? It's about Maya Batch Rendering(.ma) as well as Nuke files (.nk)

You can try using socket library(pre-installed) and the flask library. With them you can enstablish a connection between two or more pcs. For Flask here is a site that can help you https://pythonbasics.org/flask-upload-file/#:~:text=It%20is%20very%20simple%20to,it%20to%20the%20required%20location. For Socket here is another site https://www.thepythoncode.com/article/send-receive-files-using-sockets-python And I tou search on google or youtube you can find mano tutorial about it
