I ran into two issues using it which `qrcp --help` allowed me to get around.

The first was which of the many network interfaces to bind to, `--bind 192.168.0.123`, and the next was to fix a port so I could open a firewall port and not have to change it for the next files `--port 43210`

Don't forget to then open a port on your firewall, `43210` in my example.

Even if you trust what people say on their sites about keeping it private, it still is putting your files into the public domain in some form or another. The site can be compromised, or can be ordered to disclose your information by the local authorities.

Even if that were the case that this did not occur, on a corporate network it's also very likely our out and inbound traffic is also been analyzed.

Using qrcp keeps it local, and that means transfer is as fast as it can be, but it also means it never goes out.

I remember having a lot of issues with qrcp on corporate networks where like it doesnt let you connect to other devices directly, i'd personally reccomend something like 0x0.st over qrcp for a lot of cases as long as you know how curl works
