Share files between your machine and any remote shell (Bash or Rails console or anything that can do HTTP requests) via a Cloudflare tunnel.

SSH is usually how shell file transfer is done, but when I get an AWS or Heroku shell using their CLI, idk the SSH creds to do scp.

In this case, I find it easier to transfer files via HTTPS. This tool is to make that super easy.

WARNING: This EVAL stunt is performed by a trained professional

• Local host machine: Whichever machine that has this git repo and hosts the server using cloudflared
• Remote shell: The client

For your local host machine:

• python3
• cloudflared

For the remote shell:

• Bash: curl
• Ruby console: Nothing, uses standard net/http

In your local host machine:

git clone git@github.com:subins2000/shell-file-transfer.git
cd shell-file-transfer
./host.sh

Set the given SFT_HOST environment variable in the remote shell.

Then, either copy paste the relevant file in client/ directly into the shell or use the eval option.

# Initial one-time run
export SFT_HOST='https://….trycloudflare.com'
eval "$(curl -fsSL "$SFT_HOST/clients/bash.sh")"
# ^ Or instead of eval, copy paste from clients/bash.sh

# Usage
sft_send path.txt
sft_receive filename.txt

# Initial one-time run
ENV["SFT_HOST"] = "https://….trycloudflare.com"
require "net/http"; require "uri"
eval Net::HTTP.get(URI("#{ENV['SFT_HOST']}/clients/ruby.rb"))
# ^ Or instead of eval, copy paste from clients/ruby.rb

# Usage
sft_send "path.txt"
sft_receive "filename.txt"

Place files to send to remote in the host's storage/ folder. Then, use sft_receive 'filename.txt' in the remote shell.

Files sent using sft_send 'path.txt' from remote is also stored in the host's storage/ folder.
