#2Neat idea, and props for the https. Are the files encrypted on the server?

#4Why give that elaborate command line call instead of the clearer, simpler one in the example?
curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt

#5I like using chunk.io for this purpose too
$ curl -T path/to/file chunk.ioRe: $ cat ~/myfile | curl -X PUT --upload-file “-” https://transfer.sh/myfile.txt

There's an example on how to encrypt the files before sending them to the server:
# Encrypt files with password using gpg
$ cat /tmp/hello.txt|gpg -ac -o-|curl -X PUT --upload-file "-" https://transfer.sh/test.txt
# Download and decrypt
$ curl https://transfer.sh/1lDau/test.txt|gpg -o- > /tmp/hello.txtRe: $ cat ~/myfile | curl -X PUT --upload-file “-” https://transfer.sh/myfile.txt
#7What's the advantage of doing this instead of just using SCP or SFTP?

It doesn't appear so, no. The raw bytes seem to be dumped to temp files, local storage, or S3 [1][2] without mention of any sort of encryption step (or reading of a secret somewhere). As mentioned below, you could encrypt before uploading of course. Someone please correct me if I misread though.

With SFTP and SCP you need to run a daemon on the hosting machine, and create credentials for the other user to login so it's a bunch of extra steps.
For a lot of people with firewalls and no root / admin access, it becomes a major pain.
