About:
qrcp is a command-line tool that creates a temporary web server to share files over a local network. It generates a QR code containing the server's local IP address and port, which you can scan with a mobile device to initiate a file transfer. This eliminates the need for cables, email attachments, or cloud services for quick, ad-hoc file sharing.
Key Features:
  • Transfer files via QR code scan
  • Works both as a sender and receiver
  • No installation required on the receiving device
  • Supports specifying port and network interface
  • Simple command-line interface
Use Cases:
  • Quickly transferring photos/videos from a phone to a computer
  • Sharing a configuration file or log snippet during troubleshooting
Alternatives:
  • Magic Wormhole – Uses a code phrase instead of a QR code, requires terminal on both ends
  • Snapdrop – Web-based, uses a local network web UI instead of QR codes
