In this tutorial, we will be guiding you on how to install Transfer.sh on your Fedora server. Transfer.sh is a website that allows you to quickly and easily share files from the command line.
Log in to your Fedora Server via SSH or by sitting at the physical console.
Before we start installing Transfer.sh itself, we will need to install the dependencies needed to run it, which include Git, Golang and curl. Run the following commands to install these dependencies.
sudo dnf install git
sudo dnf install golang
sudo dnf install curl
After you have completed installing dependencies, you will now need to clone the Transfer.sh repository from Github.
git clone https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh.git
To build Transfer.sh, navigate to the cloned directory of Transfer.sh using the following command.
cd transfer.sh
After navigating to this directory, build the Transfer.sh executable.
make build
Once you have built Transfer.sh, you can now configure it to suit your requirements. To do this, create a text file named config.sh in the transfer.sh directory and copy the contents of example_config.sh into it with the following command.
cp example_config.sh config.sh
After this, you can edit the contents of config.sh according to your needs.
nano config.sh
After the configuration is done, it’s time to test it out. Run the following command to start the Transfer.sh server.
./transfer.sh
Once the Transfer.sh is running, you can visit your new Transfer.sh site by going to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. You can also test it by uploading a file through the command line.
curl --upload-file ./~/examplefile.txt https://transfer.sh/examplefile.txt
You have successfully installed Transfer.sh on your Fedora server. You can now enjoy the feature of sharing files from the command line.
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!
