    """
    Main CLI entry point that parses command-line arguments and starts either server or client mode.

    This function sets up an argument parser with subcommands for server and client modes,
    parses the command-line arguments, and invokes the appropriate function based on the
    selected mode. It serves as the primary interface for users to interact with E2EEFTP
    from the command line.

    The function supports the following modes:
    - server: Starts an E2EEFTP server
    - client: Starts an E2EEFTP client CLI

    Both modes accept --host and --port arguments with sensible defaults.
