transfer.sh is a website that allows users to securely upload and share files with others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing transfer.sh on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your Arch Linux system:
You can install these packages using the following command:
sudo pacman -S curl tar gzip
The first step is to download transfer.sh. You can download the latest version of the code using the following command:
curl -L -o transfer.tar.gz https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh/archive/master.tar.gz
This will download transfer.sh and save it as transfer.tar.gz in your current directory.
Next, we need to extract the transfer.sh files from the downloaded tar archive. To do that, run the following command:
tar -xzf transfer.tar.gz
This will extract the transfer.sh files into a directory named transfer.sh-master/.
Now, we need to install transfer.sh. To do that, navigate to the transfer.sh-master/ directory and run the following command:
sudo make install
This will install transfer.sh and create a symlink to the executable in /usr/local/bin.
To verify that transfer.sh has been successfully installed, run the following command:
transfer --version
This will display the version of transfer.sh, confirming that it has been installed correctly.
Now that transfer.sh is installed, you can start using it to securely share files. To upload a file, run the following command:
transfer filename
This will upload filename to transfer.sh and return a URL that you can share with others.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed transfer.sh on Arch Linux and are now ready to securely share files with others!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
