Well over the "Internet" kind of implies behind a firewall so the service would be a convenience to avoid setting up port forwarding etc.

VPN are a thing. I recommend just installing cjdns and forwarding the home end. It also encrypts your traffic. You wouldn't want to netcat in cleartext over the internet.

You could always just pipe it through ssh or some other thing. Setting up openvpn or similar is nontrivial - even if you're lucky enough to have a static IP and enough spare time to make it work.

You can leave out the 'potentially'. I shut down a file sharing service specifically for that reason, it is just about impossible not to become a vector for the transmission of illegal or objectionable content. DMCA does not cover it, because the DMCA is about copyright , not about content that is illegal to possess regardless of how you got it. That said, the police (at least, the police here) is more than happy to…

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/photodna Microsoft provides an API which identifies child expoilting images.

I know. I helped them beta test that here in nl. Unfortunately it's not just still images. It's also videos, and encrypted still images and encrypted videos. Photodna comes into its own once you actually have an image.

I like using chunk.io for this purpose too $ curl -T path/to/file chunk.io

    chunk.io uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: *.herokuapp.com, herokuapp.com Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN

Or like this with HTTPie[0]: http PUT https://transfer.sh/hello.txt [0] http://httpie.org

Because unlike these other examples, this one requires you to install something

"requires you to install something" is relative, depending on what's installed on your system. This example is a continuation of the 'elaborate vs. simpler command' theme of this thread for people who prefer HTTPie.

Haw. I made quite the same service, curl compliant and stuff except it encrypts the file on disk upon reception (creating an AES cipher, piping the file through it while receiving it) and sending back the id of the file and the key that allows decryption of said file. If anyone is interested there's plenty of documentation, even a client that allows to take screenshots and upload them on the fly.

So yeah it's limited to 30MB for now because I don't have a lot of storage but hey I use that daily hehe

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

The first cat does absolutely nothing in your example.
