qr-filetransfer

oh, this is clever! i was worried that it would upload my file to a cloud service, or that i would need to install a custom app on my phone.

Really smart. Was also worried it would be tranfered via some random web server but it’s a really elegant solution. Well done!

This is amazing. Always looking for something like this. The old way I used to do is to run a HTTP server with an upload form in the mobile phone. But this requires an app on…

Here is a small issue: https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qr-filetransfer/blob/master/main.go#L65 I don't know if it is the barcode scanner app (I use the one from zxing, a very…

Doesn't work here. As soon as I scan the QR code with my phone, I'm prompted by the barcode-scanner app to open the URL (192.168.15.whatever) on the browser, but at the time this…

Why not add a random suffix? http://{address}:{port}/{32-bytes from /dev/urandom as hex} If the URL isn't being manually entered (I mean that's the whole point of the QR code…

I'd actually rather not have this addition. Despite your marketing this as a desktop > mobile transfer right now there's no reason your app can't be used for desktop > desktop…

Looks useful and fun, however it does not seem to work correctly with ipv6 on mac? I obtain: ``` 2018/03/22 18:46:55 listen tcp: address fe80::XX:XXXX:XXX:XXXX:57532: too many…

I actually already have this setting enabled. But it will still give you an ipv6 address and even though I do have a local ipv4 address on this interface, the application will…

An innovative idea, I like it and could think of using it. Actually it would be more helpful if there was a way to transfer multiple files in a reasonable manner. While the…

Well, transfering multiple files most likely means to zip/tarball them together at the server side. But unpacking an archive after downloading it on a mobile OS needs a number of…

nice, thanks. would be nice if it could allow pipes. example to send the clipboard: $ pbpaste | qr-filetransfer 2018/03/22 15:06:48 At least one argument is required

Looks like a cool project! Only quickly glanced at the code but couldn’t find it: where does this transfer files to on an iOS device? Does it even work with iOS?

That’s what netcat is for! Host A: ``` $ nc -l 12345 < data.txt ``` Host B: ``` $ nc host-a-or-its-ip 12345 > data.txt ```

Thanks! I use this "disposable" web server approach a lot actually, usually by running `python -m http.server` from the directory that contains the file I want to transfer, and…

Great project! I'm working on one that's somewhat related, it's basically cross-platform AirDrop (though only for laptops). Seems like mine could really benefit from a method of…
