airfile
Painlessly transfer files from a web browser to your local machine.
Airfile was designed specifically to make it easier to get data off my android phone to my laptop without needing a native application, cloud services, or a USB cable.
Usage
In a directory of your choosing, run airfile:
> airfile
Listening on 192.168.0.123:8400
Point your phone's web browser to this address. You'll be greeted with an interface that lets you select files from your phone and send them.
These files are sent one by one to your local machine, saving them locally in
the directory you ran airfile in.
Caveat: I've found Chrome to work best with allowing multi-select of photos.
Make sure you select Documents as the place to choose photos from. Firefox
didn't seem to let me do multi-select.
Install
With npm installed, run
$ npm install --global airfile
