Alternative to transfer.sh
Hey guys,
probably some of you know the service transfer.sh. Its a service for easy filesharing from command line and webbrowser. You can easily upload any file with curl and download it from anywhere.
Sadly they announced the shutdown by end of november. I really liked the service and I am looking for an alternative now. Important is the upload with curl and easy download. Does anyone know something?
Thanks

You can always host your own using their git
Yes, I know but I would like to use an exisiting service and dont mess around with it by myself. In case there are no alternatives I am probably going to host it on my own.
I'll be offering a similar service soon and will be looking for people to test it out as well.
Count me in
WeTransfer? They have a command line app
Two things I wish transfer.sh did better.
Noooo
1) xor it with the last octet of your IP address or something stupid like that, and give that code externally as hex.
2) is
printf("\n");so hard to add yourself?3) encapsulate in redirect with above script.

Firstly the point of transfer.sh is to be simple. Further quite often I'm running it on embedded systems that have less commands than even a basic busybox shell and a read-only filesystem (hence the upload not pipe to disk).
Well, then, wrap it? Your ideas make sense, but these are obvious "Then do it yourself" issues.
@CyberMonday
You really don't understand the point of transfer.sh.
The point is no matter where you login be it an embedded system, a server doing DDoS Protection, a web server etc as long as you have curl you can upload a file for access (usually by yourself, sometimes by other team members).
Building a wrapper script defeats this (and at-least for embedded systems it would have to be a complied binary as no bash/sh exists).
How about these?
0x0.st
file.io
@ralph 0x0 looks decent
Perhaps you don't. The fact that you can't make it work for you by adding a carriage return or wrapping it elsewhere doesn't mean that it is the problem of the service.
1, I've done basic functionality and now looking into encryption, just need to work out which method to use.
2, Yep I can do this.
3, Domain is slightly shorter than transfer but also relevant.
Guess this is my new transfer.sh for now. I've used it for a couple temporary file share today and it did its job pretty well. Thanks for sharing.
