localsecret

Share files like secrets via a simple http server from the command line.

Running the command localsecret -s path/to/my/file.ext will start a server binding to a local IP address and a dynamically assigned port. An URL is printed to share the file in the local network. The URL looks like this: http://<IP>:<PORT>/<PREFIX>/<filename>. Where the PREFIX is a randomly generated string. In our example it could look something like this: http://10.11.12.13:46497/gegPK3qQTFhdSPooJ1bmeU0KGzKSzBkruqI30GXWyi/file.ext.

Alternatively you can pipe the content into the program, e.g. like this:

localsecret < secret.txt
# or
echo "very secret" | localsecret
