This Linux command will copy the text file given, “myfile.txt” and send it to the sprunge.us website. This allows you to share a text file with others without too much fuss.
curl -F 'sprunge=<myfile.txt' http://sprunge.us |
You may also install the PastebinCL utility on Fedora 19, this allows you to upload text to Pastebin from the command line. To compile this on Fedora 19 you need the curl development headers installed.
yum install curlpp-devel.x86_64 |
Then you can unpack the source tarball and type “make” to compile it. Then run the pastebincl binary and then paste text in the blank space and press Ctrl-D to submit it to pastebin. You will need a developer API key to compile the pastebincl code. You may create an account on the website and then get your key from http://www.pastebin.com/api.
