Transferring Files from Server to Phone

To begin, let's download a file:

This image is sourced from unsplash.com. To send the file, execute the following command:

./qrclip send -m "White Tiger" -f "image-01.jpg"

Once the file is encrypted and uploaded, a QR code will be generated in your terminal. Scan this QR code using any QR code scanning app or QRClip itself. This will open the QRClip interface on your device. Simply tap the file to initiate the download and decryption process.
