Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: debian...@lists.debian.org * Package name : qrcp Version : 0.9.1 Upstream Author : https://github.com/claudiodangelis * URL : https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp * License : MIT Programming Lang: Golang Description : transfer files by qrcode
Transfer files over Wi-Fi from your computer to a mobile device by scanning a QR code without leaving the terminal. qrcp binds a web server to the address of your Wi-Fi network interface on a random port and creates a handler for it. The default handler serves the content and exits the program when the transfer is complete. When used to receive files, qrcp serves an upload page and handles the transfer. The tool prints a QR code that encodes the text: http://{address}:{port}/{random_path} Most QR apps can detect URLs in decoded text and act accordingly (i.e. open the decoded URL with the default browser), so when the QR code is scanned the content will begin downloading by the mobile browser. It can send and receive files from other devices. ---- While there are tools that could be duct-taped together to do this in Debian, there's no one-stop-shop that actually does like this, pretty neat.
