How to upload

# Uploading is easy using curl
$ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://f.secretalgorithm.com/hello.txt
https://f.secretalgorithm.com/66nb8/hello.txt
# Download the file
$ curl https://f.secretalgorithm.com/66nb8/hello.txt -o hello.txt

Add an alias to .bashrc or .zshrc [gist]

# Add this to .bashrc or its equivalent
transfer() { if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then echo "No arguments specified. Usage:\necho transfer /tmp/test.md\ncat /tmp/test.md | transfer test.md"; return 1; fi
tmpfile=$( mktemp -t transferXXX ); if tty -s; then basefile=$(basename "$1" | sed -e 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]/-/g'); curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$1" "https://f.secretalgorithm.com/$basefile" >> $tmpfile; else curl --progress-bar --upload-file "-" "https://f.secretalgorithm.com/$1" >> $tmpfile ; fi; cat $tmpfile; rm -f $tmpfile; }

# Or for fish
function transfer; if test "$argv" = 0; echo "No arguments specified. Usage:\necho transfer /tmp/test.md\ncat /tmp/test.md | transfer test.md"; return 1; end; set tmpfile ( mktemp -t transferXXX ); if tty -s; set basefile (basename "$argv" | sed -e 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]/-/g'); curl --progress-bar --upload-file "$argv" "https://f.secretalgorithm.com/$basefile" >> $tmpfile; else; curl --progress-bar --upload-file "-" "https://f.secretalgorithm.com/$argv" >> $tmpfile; end; cat $tmpfile; rm -f $tmpfile; end

# Now you can use transfer command
$ transfer hello.txt
