Configuration

When you first run linx-client, you will be prompted to configure the instance url, logfile path and api keys.

$ ./linx-client  
Configuring linx-client  
  
Site url (ex: https://linx.example.com/): https://linx.example.com/  
Logfile path (ex: ~/.linxlog): ~/.linxlog  
API key (leave blank if instance is public):  
  
Configuration written at ~/.config/linx-client.conf

Usage

Upload file(s)

$ linx-client path/to/file.ext
https://linx.example.com/file.ext

Options

-f file.ext -- Specify a desired filename (if different from the actual one)
-r -- Randomize filename
-e 600 -- Time until file expires in seconds
-deletekey mysecret -- Specify deletion key
-o -- Overwrite file if you have its deletion key
-accesskey mykey -- Specify access key
-c myconfig.json -- Use non-default config file (can be useful if using more than one linx-server instance). This option will create a config if file does not exist.
-no-cb -- Disable automatic insertion into clipboard
-selif -- Return selif url (direct url)

Upload from stdin

$ echo "hello there" | linx-client -  
https://linx.example.com/random.txt

Note: you can specify the -f flag to specify a filename as such:

$ echo "hello there" | linx-client -f hello.txt -  
https://linx.example.com/hello.txt

Overwrite file

Assuming you have previously uploaded file.ext using linx-client (so that you have its deletion key), you can replace the file as such:

$ linx-client -o file.ext  
https://linx.example.com/file.ext

Delete file(s)

$ linx-client -d https://linx.example.com/file.ext  
Deleted https://linx.example.com/file.ext
