Tips

• If you're sharing just one file, you can use the shortcut name file to access it：

  http://{host}:{port}/file

  To save with the original filename with wget:

  wget --content-disposition http://{host}:{port}/file

  Or with curl:

  curl -OJ http://{host}:{port}/file

• To get an archive of a folder, you can add the .tar.zst extension to the url:

  http://{host}:{port}/any/folder.tar.zst

• If you want to upload files to the sharing server with curl, you can use:

  curl -F file=@/path/to/file http://{host}:{port}
  # create new folders at the same time
  curl -F file=@/path/to/file http://{host}:{port}/custom/path

  Or:

  curl -T /path/to/file http://{host}:{port}
  # create new folders at the same time
  curl -T /path/to/file http://{host}:{port}/custom/path/
  # with a different filename
  curl -T /path/to/file http://{host}:{port}/custom/path/custom-filename
