Transfer.sh is a website that helps users to share files from the command-line an efficient way.

It won’t required any additional software to work except cURL.

If your linux distribution doesn’t have cUrl (unlikely!), you can install it with

`sudo apt install curl`

The service is free and allows users to upload files up to 10 GB, that are deleted automatically from server after 14 days.

Here a brief cheatsheet.

Upload

$ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt hello.txt

Encrypt & upload

$ cat /tmp/hello.txt|gpg -ac -o-|curl -X PUT --upload-file "-" test.txt

Download & decrypt

$ curl 1lDau/test.txt|gpg -o- > /tmp/hello.txt

Upload and check with virustotal

$ curl -X PUT --upload-file nhgbhhj test.txt/virustotal

Bash/Zsh alias

Add  to .bashrc or .zshrc:

transfer() {

# write to output to tmpfile because of progress bar

tmpfile=$( mktemp -t transferXXX )

curl --progress-bar --upload-file $1 $(basename $1) >> $tmpfile;

cat $tmpfile;

rm -f $tmpfile;

}

alias transfer=transfer

Usage:

$ transfer test.txt
