Description

Application that allows transferring files via HTTP protocol without size limit or storing any of the transferred data (excluding socket buffers).

Usage

After you start the server on [port], you can initiate transfer by using POST, eg using cURL:

curl -N --data-binary "@/file/to/transfer" "server[:port]"

eg.

curl -N --data-binary "@/var/logs/log.log" "https://transfer.example.com"

You will be prompted with GET address to fetch the file on the remote machine:

Awaiting GET /1d12c367-8e83-4cce-abb9-0eaee0a69f90
...

then you can then get the file using:

curl "https://transfer.example.com/1d12c367-8e83-4cce-abb9-0eaee0a69f90" >
log.log

You can also supply your own id in POST path:

curl -N --data-binary "@/var/logs/log.log"
"https://transfer.example.com/my-id"

then you can get the file using:

curl "https://transfer.example.com/my-id" > log.log
