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 support currently the s3 (Amazon S3) and gdrive (Google Drive) providers and local file system (local).

Usage

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

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

Now run it like this

$ transfer test.txt

On Windows

Put a file called transfer.cmd somewhere in your PATH with this inside it:

@echo off
setlocal
:: use env vars to pass names to PS, to avoid escaping issues
set FN=%~nx1
set FULL=%1
powershell -noprofile -command "$(Invoke-Webrequest -Method put -Infile $Env:FULL https://transfer.sh/$Env:FN).Content"

Usage

Parameter	Description	Value	Env
listener	port to use for http (:80)
profile-listener	port to use for profiler (:6060)
force-https	redirect to https	false
tls-listener	port to use for https (:443)
tls-cert-file	path to tls certificate
tls-private-key	path to tls private key
http-auth-user	user for basic http auth on upload
http-auth-pass	pass for basic http auth on upload
temp-path	path to temp folder	system temp
web-path	path to static web files (for development)
provider	which storage provider to use	(s3, grdrive or local)
aws-access-key	aws access key		AWS_ACCESS_KEY
aws-secret-key	aws access key		AWS_SECRET_KEY
bucket	aws bucket		BUCKET
basedir	path storage for local/gdrive provider
gdrive-client-json-filepath	path to client json config for gdrive provider
gdrive-local-config-path	path to local transfer.sh config cache for gdrive provider
lets-encrypt-hosts	hosts to use for lets encrypt certificates (comma seperated)
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

Make sure your GOPATH is set correctly.

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

Build

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/
