#22Nice tool, I made something similar for dropbox a while back that symlinks/copies files into your DB folder.

#23Very nice! But no Python 2.6 support?
The key problem seems to be `check_output` in the `subprocess` module.

#24Seems like this could be done with more respect for user/data sovereignty if done with Node.js. Essentially, you'd cat the file into the script, it would spin up an HTTP server, do some port knocking or whatever NAT-traversal-fu is necessary, then spit out a link with either your raw IP, or a preconfigured dynDNS domain name.
This way we aren't carelessly littering our data all over the "cloud".

#25Neat, +1 on the 'brew' addition intent :)
Please submit to brew!
Submitted to brew. Not sure if I did everything right (first time)

#26Since I have web hosting and use GitHub, here's my method: cp file_name ~/Projects/2012/ajf.me/ajf.me/imagedump/ && cd ~/Projects/2012/ajf.me/ajf.me/ && git add imagedump && git commit -m 'new file' && cd .. && ./update.sh Elaborate, sure, but it does the job. update.sh runs git push and then does an SSH into my server and a git pull. (Because I'm too lazy to actually set up git on my own server)
You don't need to set up a git server on your own sever. Just create a git repo, add it as a remote revenue to your local repo, and use ssh+git to push changes directly.
But if you have your own server, why don't you just scp it directly there? That's the piece most people are missing.

As of an hour ago it works on 2.6 :D

#28I still prefer Dropbox because you have better control about what you upload.
Simply copy your files into ~/Dropbox/Public, right-click and choose Dropbox > Copy Public URL. Voilà!

Except that Dropbox has now discontinued their public folders in exchange for there get link everywhere (which requires you to click add to dropbox or a download button rather than direct access).

I’m not sure what you mean. The method I wrote about still seem to work.
