PPB - The Personal Pastebin

A simple and emerging script allowing you to pastebin files and terminal output to a webserver to which you have SSH access.

Rationale

With pastebins becoming increasingly cluttered with ads and eye candy as well as increasingly restrictive in terms of file size and temporal persistency, it seems you need to take things into your own hands! PPB, the Personal PasteBin is a simple script allowing you to quickly upload and share files on your machine.

Usage

Fill the template config file under config and move it to ~/.config/ppb.conf

user@host $ ppb -h                                                                                                                                                                                                                               (base) 
usage: ppb [-h] [--zip_flag] file
