SYNOPSIS
qrcp [send|receive] [-p port] [-i interface] [--zip] [--keep-alive] [files...]
DESCRIPTION
qrcp transfers files between devices using QR codes. It starts a temporary web server and displays a QR code that other devices can scan to download or upload files.
The tool is useful for quick file transfers when setting up network shares is impractical. It works across different operating systems as long as the devices are on the same network.

CAVEATS
Devices must be on the same network. Transfer speed depends on network conditions. Large files may take time over WiFi. Firewall may need port access.
HISTORY
qrcp was created by Claudio d'Angelis to simplify file transfers between devices. It eliminates the need for cables, email attachments, or cloud services for quick local transfers.
