Transfer files over WiFi between your computer and your smartphone from the terminal✨

Installation

You will find the most updated version of qr-filetransfer here. But if you want the most stable version, use pip to install it

Pip Install

Global Install

pip3 install qr-filetransfer[extras]

Local Install

pip3 install --user qr-filetransfer[extras]

If you run into problems during the install, try removing the optional [extras] at the end of the command.

Git Install

# clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/sdushantha/qr-filetransfer.git

# change the working directory to qr-filetransfer
$ cd qr-filetransfer

# install the requirements
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

usage: qr-filetransfer [-h] [--debug] [--receive] [--port PORT]
                       [--ip_addr {192.168.0.105}] [--auth AUTH]
                       file_path

Transfer files over WiFi between your computer and your smartphone from the
terminal

positional arguments:
  file_path             path that you want to transfer or store the received
                        file.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --debug, -d           show the encoded url.
  --receive, -r         enable upload mode, received file will be stored at
                        given path.
  --port PORT, -p PORT  use a custom port
  --ip_addr {192.168.0.105}
                        specify IP address
  --auth AUTH           add authentication, format: username:password
  --no-force-download   Allow browser to handle the file processing instead of
                        forcing it to download.

Note: Both devices needs to be connected to the same network

Exiting

To exit the program, just press CTRL+C.

Transfer a single file

$ qr-filetransfer /path/to/file.txt

Transfer a full directory. Note: the directory gets zipped before being transferred

$ qr-filetransfer /path/to/directory/

Receive/upload a file from your phone to your computer

$ qr-filetransfer -r /path/to/receive/file/to/

Send files over WIFI by scanning QR code in terminal

 

QR Send

This is a fork of https://github.com/sdushantha/qr-filetransfer.

• I don't need upload and auth
• I want a shorter exe name
• I want a smaller QR code pattern
• I don't need DEFLATED when make_archive because it's inefficient
• I changed the code's filename so it makes no sense to keep upstream's commit history
• When make_archive(), it's stored into the temp dir. So that it won't overwrite files that have the same name, and it's OK to shutdown ungracefully
• Added a create_sendto() function to add qrsend.bat to SendTo context menu, though won't work when selecting muiltiple files
• Added a monkey-patch to make http.server support Accept-Ranges: bytes
• Added a read(shared) lock on file so that it won't be deleted while qrsend is open

Usage

pip install git+https://github.com/imba-tjd/qrsend  # pipx is preferred
qrsend file.txt/folder

Won't fix

• In memory zip. The logic difference is too large. http.server works by reading local files. And according to the docs, ZipFile only accept path-like-obj now, rather than file-like-obj in Py2, let alone make_archive.
• Incorrect range sent by bad client, for example the requested end_bytes is larger than the actual file size.
• Files larger than 2GB won't use transmitfile. Because a single call to transmitfile fails on cnt >= 2**31-1 including setting it to 0.

Details about ranges support

Originally proposed by https://bugs.python.org/issue42643 and python/cpython#24228 but it has some fatal errors.

• not support no <range-end>
• reads all remaining content into memory in a single call
• logic error when computing the range of bytes

These has been fixed in my patch.

1. I started by ignoring end_byte and let the client to guarantee not to excessive read. Tested that curl and FF works.
2. I tried to use source.truncate(). But it turns out an io.UnsupportedOperation. The reason is that truncate will modify the actual file on disk, and mode 'r' protects that.
3. wfile._sock.sendfile() is the perfect solution, except _sock isn't public.
   According to https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/socketserver.py, wfile is a file obj determined by wbufsize. When it == 0, wfile is _SocketWriter (added in https://bugs.python.org/issue26721), otherwise it's created by socket.makefile(). I think HTTPServer is not likely to change wbufsize, so it's ok to use _sock.
4. On windows, the sendfile isn't actually the zero-copy syscall. Windows has another API that needs to be adopted via python/cpython#112337. I managed to invoke it via ctypes.

In the future, python/cpython#118949 is more likely to be merged.
