A Python command-line tool that transfers files and directories over WiFi between a computer and a smartphone by serving them over a local HTTP server and displaying a QR code to scan. It also supports receiving (uploading) files from the phone to the computer, with optional basic authentication.

Use cases

  • send a file from my laptop to my phone without a cable
  • quickly transfer photos from my phone to my computer over wifi
  • share a folder with my smartphone by scanning a qr code
  • receive a file from my phone in the terminal
  • transfer files between devices on the same network without usb

When to choose

  • you want cable-free file transfer between desktop and phone on the same wifi
  • you prefer a lightweight terminal tool over cloud services
  • you want to send or receive files with a simple qr code scan

When to avoid

  • devices are not on the same local network
  • you need encrypted or high-security transfers
  • you need a gui or cross-platform mobile app
