Does anyone know if there's a CLI tool to transfer files? Ideally I'd want to give it a file as an input and then have it return a shareable URL that transfers the file directly from my computer to whoever clicks the URL.

Firefox Send has a CLI: https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend

Thanks for sharing, dev here. It's an unofficial tool, but fully featured for sure. Supports link shortening or QR code generation as well.

Oh damn, I forgot I need to send files larger than 1GB. Still neat though, I'll check it out! Thanks

Yea, I really hope Mozilla will allow me to use FxA OAuth anytime soon to solve that issue.

yep, https://github.com/warner/magic-wormhole

I did look at magic-wormhole, but it's difficult for non-tech people to use since, IIUC, you need to use the command line.

So you do or you don't want a CLI tool?

I mean, I said right in my first comment that it should output a shareable URL.
