| Indeed KDE Connect is a robust and secure way to share files

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

| https://snapdrop.net is my go to for this. Works on any modern

| Ok, nice idea with the qrcode, but (as far I can tell from a

| On Android I'm happy with the apps I use anyway, e.g. Termux

| Solid Explorer.
| w4rh4wk5 wrote:
| Can you configure to the ssh server to start automatically, or

| jcynix wrote:
| 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.
| freedomben wrote:
| Termux is the most underrated app I can think of. It's

| android IMHO.
| jcynix wrote:
| 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 ;-)

| No, it supports macOS/win/linux + ios/android; the docs just

| What an excellent idea. Kudos.

| Nice! I used to do something similar with:

| And a dns -> http record Namecheap which sent traffic from
