Transfer.sh is a simple and easy-to-use open source file sharing tool that allows you to quickly transfer files between two devices, without any hassle. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Transfer.sh on Kali Linux in just a few simple steps.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Firstly, we need to install some required packages to make sure that Transfer.sh runs smoothly. We can install these packages by running the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl wget apt-transport-https ca-certificates gnupg-agent software-properties-common -y
This will install all the necessary packages for Transfer.sh to work properly.
Next, we need to install Docker to help us to run Transfer.sh. We can do this easily by executing the following command:
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io -y
This command will install Docker and its dependencies on your Kali Linux machine.
After we have installed all the prerequisites, we can now install Transfer.sh. We can do this by running the following command:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name=transfer.sh regseb/transfer.sh
This command will download and run the Transfer.sh Docker image, which will make it available on your Kali Linux machine.
Lastly, we can test if Transfer.sh is working correctly by uploading a file. We can do this by executing the following command:
curl --upload-file /path/to/your/file http://localhost:8080/
Replace /path/to/your/file with the actual path and filename of the file you want to upload. This command will upload the file to Transfer.sh, and you will get a download link that you can use to download the file from anywhere.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Transfer.sh on Kali Linux in just a few simple steps. Once installed, you can use Transfer.sh to quickly and easily share files between two devices without any hassle.
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!
