Samples
Upload
Uploading is easy using curl.
curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt
Download the file
curl https://transfer.sh/66nb8/hello.txt
Create a share alias (add it to .bashrc or .zshrc):
transfer() {
# write to output to tmpfile because of progress bar
tmpfile=$( mktemp -t transfer )
curl --progress-bar --upload-file $1 https://transfer.sh/$(basename $1) >> $tmpfile;
cat $tmpfile;
rm -f $tmpfile;
}
alias transfer=transfer
Now you can just use transfer hello.txt to upload the file!
Upload multiple files at once
curl -i -F filedata=@/tmp/hello.txt -F filedata=@/tmp/hello2.txt https://transfer.sh/
Combining downloads as zip or tar archive
curl https://transfer.sh/(15HKz/hello.txt,15HKz/hello.txt).tar.gz
curl https://transfer.sh/(15HKz/hello.txt,15HKz/hello.txt).tar
curl https://transfer.sh/(15HKz/hello.txt,15HKz/hello.txt).zip
