transfer.sh

transfer.sh

Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line. This code contains the server with everything you need to create your own instance.

Transfer.sh currently supports the s3 (Amazon S3), gdrive (Google Drive) providers, and local file system (local).

Disclaimer

This project repository has no relation with the service at https://transfer.sh that's managed by https://storj.io. So far we cannot address any issue related to the service at https://transfer.sh.

Usage

Upload:

$ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt

Encrypt & upload:

$ cat /tmp/hello.txt|gpg -ac -o-|curl -X PUT --upload-file "-" https://transfer.sh/test.txt
````

### Download & decrypt:

bash $ curl https://transfer.sh/1lDau/test.txt|gpg -o- > /tmp/hello.txt

### Upload to virustotal:

bash $ curl -X PUT --upload-file nhgbhhj https://transfer.sh/test.txt/virustotal

### Deleting

bash $ curl -X DELETE

## Request Headers

### Max-Downloads

bash $ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt -H "Max-Downloads: 1" # Limit the number of downloads

### Max-Days

bash $ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt -H "Max-Days: 1" # Set the number of days before deletion

## Response Headers

### X-Url-Delete

The URL used to request the deletion of a file. Returned as a response header.

bash curl -sD - --upload-file ./hello https://transfer.sh/hello.txt | grep 'X-Url-Delete' X-Url-Delete: https://transfer.sh/hello.txt/BAYh0/hello.txt/PDw0NHPcqU

## Add alias to .bashrc or .zshrc

### Using curl

bash transfer() {

curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$1" https://transfer.sh/$(basename "$1") | tee /dev/null;
echo

}

alias transfer=transfer

### Using wget

bash transfer() {

wget -t 1 -qO - --method=PUT --body-file="$1" --header="Content-Type: $(file -b --mime-type "$1")" https://transfer.sh/$(basename "$1");
echo

}

alias transfer=transfer

## Add alias for fish-shell

### Using curl

fish function transfer --description 'Upload a file to transfer.sh'

if [ $argv[1] ]
    # write to output to tmpfile because of progress bar
    set -l tmpfile ( mktemp -t transferXXXXXX )
    curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$argv[1]" https://transfer.sh/(basename $argv[1]) >> $tmpfile
    cat $tmpfile
    command rm -f $tmpfile
else
    echo 'usage: transfer FILE_TO_TRANSFER'
end

end

funcsave transfer

### Using wget

fish function transfer --description 'Upload a file to transfer.sh'

if [ $argv[1] ]
    wget -t 1 -qO - --method=PUT --body-file="$argv[1]" --header="Content-Type: (file -b --mime-type $argv[1])" https://transfer.sh/(basename $argv[1])
else
    echo 'usage: transfer FILE_TO_TRANSFER'
end

end

funcsave transfer

Now run it like this:

bash $ transfer test.txt

## Add alias on Windows

Put a file called `transfer.cmd` somewhere in your PATH with this inside it:

cmd @echo off setlocal :: use env vars to pass names to PS, to avoid escaping issues set FN=%~nx1 set FULL=%1 powershell -noprofile -command "$(Invoke-Webrequest -Method put -Infile $Env:FULL https://transfer.sh/$Env:FN).Content"

## Link aliases

Create direct download link:

https://transfer.sh/1lDau/test.txt --> https://transfer.sh/get/1lDau/test.txt

Inline file:

https://transfer.sh/1lDau/test.txt --> https://transfer.sh/inline/1lDau/test.txt

## Usage

Parameter | Description | Value | Env
--- | --- | --- | ---
listener | port to use for http (:80) | |
profile-listener | port to use for profiler (:6060)| |
force-https | redirect to https | false |
tls-listener | port to use for https (:443) | |
tls-listener-only | flag to enable tls listener only | |
tls-cert-file | path to tls certificate | |
tls-private-key | path to tls private key | |
http-auth-user | user for basic http auth on upload | |
http-auth-pass | pass for basic http auth on upload | |
ip-whitelist | comma separated list of ips allowed to connect to the service | |
ip-blacklist | comma separated list of ips not allowed to connect to the service | |
temp-path | path to temp folder | system temp |
web-path | path to static web files (for development or custom front end) | |
proxy-path | path prefix when service is run behind a proxy | |
ga-key | google analytics key for the front end | |
uservoice-key | user voice key for the front end  | |
provider | which storage provider to use | (s3, gdrive or local) |
aws-access-key | aws access key | | AWS_ACCESS_KEY
aws-secret-key | aws access key | | AWS_SECRET_KEY
bucket | aws bucket | | BUCKET
s3-region | region of the s3 bucket | eu-west-1 | S3_REGION
s3-no-multipart | disables s3 multipart upload | false | |
s3-path-style | Forces path style URLs, required for Minio. | false | |
basedir | path storage for local/gdrive provider| |
gdrive-client-json-filepath | path to oauth client json config for gdrive provider| |
gdrive-local-config-path | path to store local transfer.sh config cache for gdrive provider| |
gdrive-chunk-size | chunk size for gdrive upload in megabytes, must be lower than available memory (8 MB) | |
lets-encrypt-hosts | hosts to use for lets encrypt certificates (comma seperated) | |
log | path to log file| |

If you want to use TLS using lets encrypt certificates, set lets-encrypt-hosts to your domain, set tls-listener to :443 and enable force-https.

If you want to use TLS using your own certificates, set tls-listener to :443, force-https, tls-cert=file and tls-private-key.

## Development

Switched to GO111MODULE

bash go run main.go --provider=local --listener :8080 --temp-path=/tmp/ --basedir=/tmp/

## Build

If on go < 1.11

bash go get -u -v ./...

bash go build -o transfersh main.go

## Docker

For easy deployment, we've created a Docker container.

bash docker run --publish 8080:8080 dutchcoders/transfer.sh:latest --provider local --basedir /tmp/ ```

S3 Usage

For the usage with a AWS S3 Bucket, you just need to specify the following options:

• provider
• aws-access-key
• aws-secret-key
• bucket
• s3-region

If you specify the s3-region, you don't need to set the endpoint URL since the correct endpoint will used automatically.

Custom S3 providers

To use a custom non-AWS S3 provider, you need to specify the endpoint as definied from your cloud provider.
