How to Install transfer.sh on OpenBSD

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing transfer.sh, a command-line file-sharing tool, on OpenBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we start, you'll need:

• A server running OpenBSD
• A terminal or SSH client to access your server

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first thing we need to do is install the necessary dependencies to build and run transfer.sh. We will use pkg_add command to install them:

$ sudo pkg_add go curl git

The above command will install go programming language, curl and git.

Step 2: Clone the transfer.sh Repository

Next, we will clone the transfer.sh repository from GitHub.

$ git clone https://github.com/dutchcoders/transfer.sh.git

Step 3: Build transfer.sh

Now that we have the source code, let's build transfer.sh by running the following commands:

$ cd transfer.sh
$ go build

Step 4: Run transfer.sh

Once the build is complete, we can run transfer.sh using the following command:

$ ./transfer.sh

By default, transfer.sh will listen on 127.0.0.1:8080. If you want to make it accessible from outside of the server, you can specify a different IP address and/or port using the -l flag.

$ ./transfer.sh -l [ip_address]:[port]

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed transfer.sh on OpenBSD. Now, you can use it to securely share files with your colleagues and friends.
