transfer.sh is a self-hostable file sharing server that lets users upload and share files quickly from the command line using curl or similar tools. It supports multiple storage backends including Amazon S3, Google Drive, Storj, and the local filesystem, with features like download limits, expiry, and server-side encryption.
Use cases
- share a file from the command line with curl
- self-host my own file sharing service
- upload files to S3 or Google Drive via CLI
- share files that expire after a number of days or downloads
- encrypt a file before uploading it for sharing
- send logs or build artifacts to teammates quickly
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted file sharing server controlled via curl
- you need CLI-friendly uploads with configurable expiry and download limits
- you want pluggable storage backends like S3, GDrive, or Storj
When to avoid
- you need a polished web UI for non-technical users
- you require strong security guarantees - there is a known auth/IP-filter bypass via X-Forwarded-For spoofing
- you need large-scale enterprise file transfer with compliance features
