About
=====
Server application that allows you share files (or program output) from
command line using the most basic UNIX tools, like **netcat** or **socat**.
Usage
=====
Client
------
### uploading
Clients don't need any sophisticated tools. To upload to server - pipe standard
output from any application to **socat**:
Note: **termsend.pl** is demo server which you can use to play with termsend.
You can also use it like ordinary no paste service to share data with people.
```
$ echo "test string" | socat - TCP:termsend.pl:1337
```
Server reads data until **FIN** is seen or string **termsend\n** at the very
end of transfer. **socat** and nmap version of **netcat** send **FIN** when
stdin ends so it is advisible to use them. If you are stuck with hobbit
version of **netcat**, you need to also append **termsend\n** at the very end
of transfer:
```
$ echo "test string" | { cat -; echo 'termsend'; } | nc termsend.pl 1337
```
If, for some reason, you are not able to pass **termsend\n**, you can always
use timed upload. In this mode, server will read data until there is no
activity on the socket for at least 3 seconds, after that **termsend** assumes
transfer to be complete and link is returned. This is not recommended, due to
the fact that you will have to wait 3 seconds after all data is sent, and you
might end up with incomplete upload when your output program stalls.
```
$ echo "test string" | nc termsend.pl 1338
```
### easy to use alias
It's quite long and irritating to type these pipes everytime you want to
upload something. It is recommended to create alias to work-around this
tedious work.
```{.sh}
# add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever shell you use
alias ts="socat - TCP:termsend.pl:1337"
```
Now you can upload anything by simply piping it to "ts" alias. Examples
will explain it best:
```
$ ls -l | ts # uploads list of files in current directory
$ cat error.log | ts # uploads file 'error.log'
$ make | ts # uploads compilation output
$ cat binary-file | ts # uploads some binary file
```
After transfer is complete, server will print link which you can later use to
get uploaded content (like send it to someone via IRC). If uploaded content is
a simple text file, you can read it directly in terminal using **curl**, or if
output is known to be big, **curl** output can be piped to **less**. Check out
this simple example.
```
$ make distcheck 2>&1 | ts
uploaded 3454 bytes
uploaded 8203 bytes
uploaded 9524 bytes
uploaded 11821 bytes
uploaded 16626 bytes
uploaded 23026 bytes
uploaded 31482 bytes
uploaded 32913 bytes
uploaded 33867 bytes
uploaded 40200 bytes
uploaded 1604104 bytes
uploaded 4668396 bytes
uploaded 4690455 bytes
https://termsend.pl/o/6p3e1
$ curl https://termsend.pl/o/6p3e1 | less
```
In this example, we upload output of **make distcheck** program into server, and
later we read in in less (for example on another computer).
Server will notify uploader about how much bytes were transfered every second.
If information is not received for longer than 1 second, that means program did
not produce any output and server didn't receive any data.
For all aliases check [alias page](https://termsend.bofc.pl/aliases.html).
Server
------
Information about server usage and its options can be found in man page
[termsend](https://termsend.bofc.pl/termsend.1.html)(1).
Test results
============
Newest *termsend* is tested against these operating systems and architectures.
Note that test results are taken from **master** branch, release version
**always** passes all these tests.
