## Description

qrcp is a command-line file sharing utility that hosts a temporary local network server to facilitate wireless file exchanges between computers and mobile devices. It functions as a secure local file host, enabling the transfer of assets over a Wi-Fi network via a web browser.

The tool distinguishes itself by using QR codes to automate device pairing, removing the need for manual IP entry. It ensures data privacy through certificate-based HTTPS encryption and simplifies the movement of directory structures by bundling multiple files into ephemeral zip archives.

The system supports bidirectional data movement, including both computer-to-mobile downloads and mobile-to-computer uploads. It includes an interactive command-line interface for network and port configuration and provides shell completion generation for various terminals.
