I'm opening this issue because:

  • I have found a bug

  • My Go version is: go1.16 windows/amd64

  • My GOPATH is set to: (no output returned)

When I run qrcp receive, the following error message is thrown:

2021/03/04 17:41:04 error starting the server: open : The system cannot find the file specified.

Calling qrcp v0.7.0 from Windows PowerShell running on:

Edition           Windows 10 Pro

Installed on      ‎2/‎22/‎2021

did u give it a path to the output? --output path_to_folder

noelforte commented

Yep. Still a bust.

PS C:\Users\Me> qrcp receive --output .\Desktop\
Scan the following URL with a QR reader to start the file transfer:
https://■■■.■■■.■■■.■■■:4283/receive/bun8

(QR CODE)

@noelforte I think u would use the linux naming ./Desktop
(the / works in internal api calls.)

noelforte commented

Nope that doesn't change anything, still getting a The system cannot find the file specified.

sdetweil commented

what if u try just .

noelforte commented

same error. it appears to be trying to launch a directory that doesn't exist, the extra space after open in error starting the server: open : The system cannot find the file specified. would imply a path being there, a la open <pathname>: but there isn't one, so whatever is getting called isn't passing through appropriately.

sdetweil commented

it does look for ~/.qrcp.json as the default config file
so maybe in the current folder with contents of { "port":"0" }
and parms -c ./qrcp.json

Hello @noelforte, I believe this has nothing to do with the destination directory, but rather to the files of your private key and certificate used for starting the server.

Did you set the path of those two files correctly in the config? Does it work with --secure=false?

Thanks,
Claudio

@claudiodangelis weird, it seems to be working now, just tried again to download it and transfer a file, worked without a hitch. maybe there was something misconfigured or perhaps it was using https and I didn't realize it. Either way I'm good to go now. Thanks!
