CloudApp CLI
Experience all the pleasures of sharing with CloudApp now in your terminal and Ruby.
Requirements
cloudapp
requires Ruby 1.9.3 or greater. Windows is not yet supported. If
you're willing to lend a hand, we'd love to officially support it.
Ubuntu Requirements
cloudapp
uses libcurl
(by way of typhoeus
). It can be
installed using apt-get
.
sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev
Quick Start
$ gem install cloudapp
$ cloudapp screenshot.png
$ cloudapp --direct screenshot.png
$ cloudapp http://getcloudapp.com
For a good time, install gem-man
and read the man page or
read it online.
$ gem install gem-man
$ gem man cloudapp
Usage
cloudapp [--direct] [--[no-]copy] <file_or_url>...
Upload a file or share a bookmark. The drop's share link will be printed to
standard output and copied to the system clipboard. Use the --direct
flag
for the drop's direct link suitable for use in places where a link to a file
is expected. An HTML IMG tag or Campfire, for example.
Upload a file:
$ cloudapp screenshot.png

Wish List
A few simple commands to allow scripting and input from other Unix programs would be ideal.
- Download a drop:
cloudapp http://cl.ly/abc123
- Encrypt and share a file:
cloudapp --encrypt launch_codes.txt
- Download and decrypt and encrypted drop:
cloudapp --key=def456 http://cl.ly/abc123
