Hello everyone,
Let me present you transfer.sh which permit to upload files and share them from command line.
It has many advantages comparing to others cloud storage providers :
- Could be self-hosted : GitHub - dutchcoders/transfer.sh: Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line.
- Made for use shell (you can also upload files from their/your web interface)
- Share files with URL
- Upload up to 10Go
- Files stored for 14 days
- Files can be encrypted during upload
- Free
Every settings can be modified if you host the service.
Few tips to use it :
Upload:
$ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt
Encrypt & upload:
$ cat /tmp/hello.txt|gpg -ac -o-|curl -X PUT --upload-file "-" https://transfer.sh/test.txt
Download & decrypt:
$ curl https://transfer.sh/1lDau/test.txt|gpg -o- > /tmp/hello.txt
Upload to virustotal:
$ curl -X PUT --upload-file nhgbhhj https://transfer.sh/test.txt/virustotal
Add alias to .bashrc or .zshrc (best method for me) :
transfer() {
# write to output to tmpfile because of progress bar
tmpfile=$( mktemp -t transferXXX )
curl --progress-bar --upload-file $1 https://transfer.sh/$(basename $1) >> $tmpfile;
cat $tmpfile;
rm -f $tmpfile;
}
Alias transfer=transfer
$ transfer test.txt
Do you think it could be useful to integrate the alias into the QuickBox .bashrc file ? (as QuickBox commands).
It’s also possible to create a package app if you want to host it on your server to have your own cloud service
