The File Transfer Tool is a simple console application designed to facilitate quick and easy file transfers from a mobile device to a PC. It creates a basic web server with a single-page interface for uploading files, especially useful in cases where cable connections aren't working (looking at you, iPhone).
When the application starts, it displays a QR code in the console. Scanning this QR code on your phone opens the upload page on the server, allowing you to transfer files to your PC.
⚠ Important: This tool is intended for use on a secure, private network. It is not designed to be deployed publicly due to the lack of security measures.
⚠ Important: If, after scanning the QR code, the web page does not open, you may need to adjust your firewall settings.
- Simple UI: A minimal web page that allows file uploads.
