[−][src]Crate qrsync
QrSync
Utility to copy files over WiFi to/from mobile devices inside a terminal.
When I built QrSync, it was only meant to send files from a terminal to a mobile device, then I found the amazing qrcp and I took some ideas from it and implemented also the possibility to copy file from the mobile device to the computer running QrSync.
Dependencies
QrSync depends on Rocket, which only builds against nightly >= 1.42.
Operational modes
QrSync can run in two mode, depending on command line options:
- Send mode: this mode is selected when a file is passed to the command line. QrSync will
generate a QR code on the terminal and start the HTTP server in send mode.
Example:
❯❯❯ qrsync my_document.pdf INFO qrsync::http > Send mode enabled for file /home/bigo/my_document.pdf INFO qrsync::http > Scan this QR code with a QR code reader app to open the URL http://192.168.1.11:5566/send
- Receive mode: this mode is selected if no file is passed to the command line. QrSync will
generate a QR code on the terminal and start the HTTP server in receive mode from the current
folder. A specific folder to save received files can be specified with --root-dir command line
option.
Example:
❯❯❯ qrsync INFO qrsync::http > Receive mode enabled inside directory /home/bigo INFO qrsync::http > Scan this QR code with a QR code reader app to open the URL http://192.168.1.11:5566/receive
