In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing transfer.sh, a command-line file-sharing tool, on OpenBSD.
Before we start, you'll need:
The first thing we need to do is install the necessary dependencies to build and run transfer.sh. We will use pkg_add command to install them:
$ sudo pkg_add go curl git
The above command will install go programming language, curl and git.
Next, we will clone the transfer.sh repository from GitHub.
$ git clone https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh.git
Now that we have the source code, let's build transfer.sh by running the following commands:
$ cd transfer.sh
$ go build
Once the build is complete, we can run transfer.sh using the following command:
$ ./transfer.sh
By default, transfer.sh will listen on 127.0.0.1:8080. If you want to make it accessible from outside of the server, you can specify a different IP address and/or port using the -l flag.
$ ./transfer.sh -l [ip_address]:[port]
Congratulations! You have successfully installed transfer.sh on OpenBSD. Now, you can use it to securely share files with your colleagues and friends.
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!
