Usage

Upload Mode

Start the server in upload mode by specifying the root directory where files should be uploaded:

node src/index.js --root . --port 3000 --ip 192.168.0.101

This will start the server and generate a QR code. Scan the QR code with your smartphone to access the upload interface.

Download Mode

Start the server in download mode by specifying the file to download:

node index.js --download /path/to/file --port 3000 --ip 192.168.0.101

This will start the server and generate a QR code. Scan the QR code with your smartphone to download the specified file.

This command starts the server on port 3000, using the local IP address 192.168.1.100, and sets the root directory for uploads to ./uploads.
