About qrcp
qrcp transfers files between a computer and a mobile device over local Wi-Fi without leaving the terminal. It starts a web server on the Wi-Fi interface, prints a QR code for the transfer URL, and the phone opens the link in its browser to download or upload. It works without prior configuration and exits when the transfer completes unless keep-alive is set.
Pricing is not clearly stated.
