xport <file>

xport file.zip

Shares a local file through a temporary public URL. The command stays in the foreground until you stop it (Ctrl-C) or the session expires.

Example output:

       ____            _
 __  _|  _ \ ___  _ __| |_
 \ \/ / |_) / _ \| '__| __|
  >  <|  __/ (_) | |  | |_
 /_/\_\_|   \___/|_|   \__|

Press Ctrl-C to stop.

Behaviour

Every path on the URL serves the file, with Content-Disposition: attachment and a sniffed Content-Type.
Range requests are supported — download managers and resuming work.
--name, --expires, and --password work exactly as for xport <port>: the download URL can be named, time-limited, and password-protected.

Not implemented yet

Zero-knowledge encryption — the relay can technically see shared file content today. Content-blind shares (client-side encryption with the key in the URL fragment) are planned for Phase 2.

Folders work too: xport <folder>
Track and stop everything you share via the share registry (xport list, xport stop, --json).

Options

All persistent options apply: --name, --expires, --password, --qr, --copy, --detach, --json.
