sshpaste

README.md (1927B)

# sshpaste
A POSIX shell script (with some non-POSIX dependencies) inspired by wgetpaste but for pushing to your own server.
## Usage
Please modify ``target_ssh`` and ``target_www`` into ``sshpaste`` to the appropriate servers and paths for your usage.
```
Usage: sshpaste [options] [file(s)]
Options:
        -c COMMAND  paste COMMAND and the output of COMMAND
                    Can be used only once, not compatible with -x
        -h          show this help
        -x          read input from clipboard (requires xclip)
                    Can be used only once, not compatible with -c
	When no options or files are given, sshpaste reads from stdin, it assumes plain text is given and so puts a .txt extension
```
## Intended differences with wgetpaste
* The URL in standard output shows only the URL without any message, allowing more easy piping
* ``emerge --info`` options will not be added (gentoo-specific, can easily be done via ``-c``)
* URL will not go to tinyurl or X Clipboard, can easily be done by piping the output
* I use the PS4 environment variable with ``sh -x``/``set -x`` instead of a custom PS1, it allows the separation of the commands as they are executed at the expense of broken oneliner display
## Dependencies
* POSIX system: required
* scp(1): required; tested with OpenSSH
* mktemp(1): needed for -x and -c; tested with coreutils and OpenBSD
* xclip(1): optionnal; needed for -x option
Note: Your server needs a ssh daemon for the uploads and a web server for hosting the files. You can also replace the web server with one for Gopher, FTP (but let it die) or maybe even something else.
## Packages
* Source tarballs are available at https://hacktivis.me/git/sshpaste/archives/ and https://github.com/lanodan/sshpaste/releases
* It is in my gentoo overlay, here is theorically how to install sshpaste from a clean gentoo:
```
emerge layman
layman -a lanodanOverlay
emerge sshpaste
```
