Tavinus CloudSender2

Bash script that uses curl to send files and folders to a nextcloud / owncloud publicly shared folder.


If you want to support this project, you can do it here :coffee: :beer:

The logic is

cloudsend <file/folder/glob> <PublicURL>

The Origins are here, Thanks for everyone that contributed on the original GIST

Shares with passwords

Cloudsend v2 changed the way password parsing works.
Cloudsend 0.x.x used the -p parameter for the Environment password (changed to -e in v2+).
Please use EITHER -e OR -p, but not both. The last to be called will be used.

  • Env Pass > Set the variable CLOUDSEND_PASSWORD='MySecretPass' and use the option -e
  • Param Pass > Send the password as a parameter with -p <password>

Input Globbing

You can use input globbing (wildcards) by setting the -g option.
This will ignore input file checking and pass the glob to curl to be used.
You MUST NOT rename files when globbing, input file names will be used.
You MUST NOT send folders when globbing, only files are allowed.

Glob examples:

  • '{file1.txt,file2.txt,file3.txt}'
  • 'img[1-100].png'

Read from stdin (pipes)

You can send piped content by using - or . as the input file name (curl specs).
You MUST set a destination file name to use stdin as input ( -r <name> ).

From curl's manual:
Use the file name - (a single dash) to use stdin instead of a given file.
Alternately, the file name . (a single period) may be specified instead of - to use
stdin in non-blocking mode to allow reading server output while stdin is being uploaded.

Sending entire folder

From v2.2.0 cloudsend.sh can send folders. It will traverse the folder tree, create
each folder and send each file. Just use a folder path as input.

Other ways to send folders:

This sends every FILE in the current shell folder.

  • change the first ./ to change the input folder ( eg. '/home/myname/myfolder' )
  • -maxdepth 1 will read current folder only, more levels go deeper, supressing goes all levels
find ./ -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec ./cloudsend.sh {} https://cloud.mydomain.tld/s/TxWdsNX2Ln3X5kxG -p yourPassword \;

This sends every FILE inside /home/myname/myfolder, including ALL subfolders.

find /home/myname/myfolder -type f -exec ./cloudsend.sh {} https://cloud.mydomain.tld/s/TxWdsNX2Ln3X5kxG -p yourPassword \;

This sends a gziped tarball of the current shell folder.

tar cf - "$(pwd)" | gzip -9 -c | ./cloudsend.sh - 'https://cloud.mydomain.tld/s/TxWdsNX2Ln3X5kxG' -r myfolder.tar.gz

This sends a gziped tarball of /home/myname/myfolder.

tar cf - /home/myname/myfolder | gzip -9 -c | ./cloudsend.sh - 'https://cloud.mydomain.tld/s/TxWdsNX2Ln3X5kxG' -r myfolder.tar.gz

This sends a recursive zip file of /home/myname/myfolder.

zip -q -r -9 - /home/myname/myfolder | ./cloudsend.sh - 'https://cloud.mydomain.tld/s/TxWdsNX2Ln3X5kxG' -r myfolder.zip

Create Folder

Since version 2.3.2 you can create folders in the remote server with the -C|--mkdir parameter. It can be a single folder or a tree.

Just pass the folder to be created as if it was the file being sent.

$ ./cloudsend.sh -C -p MyPassword 'A Folder' "https://cloud.mydomain.tld/index.php/s/H4Q3RHXZ4e974PY"

Deleting Files/Folders

Since version 2.3.1 you can delete files and folders at the remote server.
Just use the option -D|--delete and pass the file/folder to be deleted as if it was the file being sent.

This example deteles A Folder from the remote server with all its subfolders and files.

Target Folder

Since version 2.3.2 you can set a target folder for remote operations with the -T|--target parameter. It can be a single folder or a tree.

The target tree will be created before running the operations, unless you are running the delete command.

All commands will use the target folder as the base folder (delete, send, create folder, etc).

Root Folder (URL)

Cloudsend also supports reading the root folder from the URL (if the URL links to a folder).

Cloudsend will NOT try to create this folder, it must already exist, but it will use it as a base root folder for everything, including the base --target setting.

Links with folders have a syntax https://cloud.mydomain.tld/index.php/s/H2Q3RHXZ4f974sY?path=my root.

That ?path=my root defines 'my root' as the root target folder.

In this example 'my root' already existed on the server, otherwise we would get errors

$ ./cloudsend.sh -p MyPass -T 'A Folder/A Subfolder' "../folder 1" "https://cloud.mydomain.tld/index.php/s/H4Q3RHXZ4e974PY?path=my root"
