@hitorisensei/http-transfer-server v1.0.0

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
