Web Paste
Simple http server that lets you post any file and later get it via an easy to remember name (provided by golang-petname)
How
-
Run daemon or docker continer
./webpaste-linux-amd64 -
Send something to via curl. This will return you a unique, easy url to download later from somewhere else
curl -F "f=@your_file" http://address:port/ -
Use the given link in another computer to download
Parameters
- -p : port to bind
- -d : directory to save files
Why ?
-
I wanted to experiment with Go (Obvious from the code)
-
During daily work, we fetch text/binary files from servers in order to later paste them as evidences in tickets, emails or to use them somewhere else
Even though rsync/scp is de facto for such purposes, sometimes they are not the most practical/easy to use. Because:
- Sometimes people have jump over many servers, with different credentials, causing them to traverse all hops for single file
- Sometimes people access servers via Windows terminal sessions, vnc or even via conferencing tools
- Sometimes, the easiest thing to access from multiple locations in a complex network is just an http server
