Quick File Transfer with QR code

From time to time, I need to transfer files from computer to my android phone, install apk for example, I can use the app store if the app can be found there, most of the time, the app I need to install is rarely used by other people, thus need to install with apk file, there is no convenient method for transferring apk from Ubuntu to Android until I found this fabulous project qrcp.

Qrcp is a command line tool for file transfer over wifi connection by scanning QR code.

Installation

export GO111MODULE=on
export GOPROXY=https://goproxy.io
go get github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp

How to use

Using qrcp is rather simple, the use case for apk file transfer is as follows:

The option -k is needed, use without this will end up with http server closed after QR code was scanned, it is an open issue, this is a temporary solution per this comment.

For more usage such as receiving files refer to the Usage section of this project.
