Can I use it with my Ipad?

#32So is this just an http server with a QR code for the link?

#33I have an alias in my .bashrc for that:
alias instashare='python3 -m http.server 8082'Re: Show HN: Sharing, command-line tool to share files with your phone
#34For me kde connect is great for this and a lot of similar purposes(clipboard sharing, sms, media controls, notifications)
Indeed KDE Connect is a robust and secure way to share files (and it has many other features as well). I wish more people knew about it!

#35What an excellent idea. Kudos.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can execute Termux scripts at boot time (via a secondary app Termux:Boot), which would execute files in ~/.termux/boot/so yes. And you have your standard shell init files, so just opening Termux allows you to implement actions.
Termux is the most underrated app I can think of. It's absolutely incredible and is one of the best "features" of android IMHO.
I 100% agree, Termux shows, what a useful tool a smartphone can be. Do I need an app to look at the EXIF of a photo? No, I just use Phil Harvey's excellent exiftool[1] in the shell. Resize or rotate an image? Or even a number of images? Imagemagick does the job. The power of the command line in your hand ;-)

#37I've had amazing results with Warpinator, especiall when it comes to non-techies. No more ferrying files over pen drive or "wetransfer"-like services. As long as you're all on the same LAN, just drag and drop.

#38Much like many applications such as Slack attempt to be the "email killer", is this the "copy-paste-into-email-to-myself killer"?

Yep, and you can use it seamlessly with several computer at once, I love it :)

#40OP's tool looks good, I like the QRcode idea.
Another useful tool in this neighborhood is Droopy: http://stackp.online.fr/?p=28
It's a Python script that runs a simple web server with some nice options.
I used it to copy a gigantic video file from my phone to my old Windows machine that other methods choked on.
