transfer.sh

Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line. This code contains the server with everything you need to create your own instance.

Transfer.sh currently supports the s3 (Amazon S3), gdrive (Google Drive) providers, and local file system (local).

Disclaimer

log	path to log file

If you want to use TLS using lets encrypt certificates, set lets-encrypt-hosts to your domain, set tls-listener to :443 and enable force-https.

If you want to use TLS using your own certificates, set tls-listener to :443, force-https, tls-cert-file and tls-private-key.

Development

Switched to GO111MODULE

go run main.go --provider=local --listener :8080 --temp-path=/tmp/ --basedir=/tmp/

Build

If on go < 1.11

go get -u -v ./...

go build -o transfersh main.go

Docker

For easy deployment, we've created a Docker container.

docker run --publish 8080:8080 dutchcoders/transfer.sh:latest --provider local --basedir /tmp/

S3 Usage

For the usage with a AWS S3 Bucket, you just need to specify the following options:

• provider
• aws-access-key
• aws-secret-key
• bucket
• s3-region

If you specify the s3-region, you don't need to set the endpoint URL since the correct endpoint will used automatically.

Custom S3 providers

To use a custom non-AWS S3 provider, you need to specify the endpoint as definied from your cloud provider.

Google Drive Usage

For the usage with Google drive, you need to specify the following options:

• provider
• gdrive-client-json-filepath
• gdrive-local-config-path
• basedir

Creating Gdrive Client Json

You need to create a Oauth Client id from console.cloud.google.com download the file and place into a safe directory

Usage example

go run main.go --provider gdrive --basedir /tmp/ --gdrive-client-json-filepath /[credential_dir] --gdrive-local-config-path [directory_to_save_config]
