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

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.txt

Exactly, who trusts server side encryption anyway?

FYI The "-X PUT" argument is not doing what you think it is[1], and is superfluous since you're using "--upload-file".

You almost never really want "-X".

I have been using paste.click [0] for a while, it is similar to this. I use to share snippets of code, or screenshots

I use sprunge [ http://sprunge.us/ ] for the exact same purpose. Normal usage: $ more c14.py | sprunge And it outputs: http://sprunge.us/eCeM The nice thing about sprunge is that you also have syntax highlighting: http://sprunge.us/eCeM?py Appending a ? will syntax highlight the text according to the lang. P.S. To use a pipe with sprunge, put an alias in your .zshrc / .bashrc: alias sprunge="curl -F 'sprunge= http://…

I think the newness about this is that they've released the code on github under MIT, so you can self-host the service if you want. I think none of the othe rprojects mentioned here have are opensource or have a slef-hosted version.

I always wonder how sites like these deal with stuff like potentially hosting child porn/other content that is illegal to possess. Does DCMA safe harbor stuff cover it? (don't see a DCMA notice on the site)

It'd be cool to have the ability to pipe stuff over the Internet from shell in real time like you would with SSH for instance. So I could do: A$ curl --upload-file - http://blah B$ curl http://blah/uYsfVX and see live stream of data on B.

You can use netcat for that. Or Bash has built-in TCP support.

You can do that with netcat if either A or B are listening.

I wrote a sprunge clone with a gimmick (the URL contains the sha256 digest of the paste) to learn Go. Ships with a Dockerfile. Probably doesn't scale. Affero GPL.
