File Upload

Uploading refers to transmitting data from one computer system to another through means of a network.

Uploading directly contrasts with downloading, where data is received over a network.

Installation

go get -u github.com/cixtor/fileupload

Usage

Run fileupload to start a file server in the current working directory, listening on a random ephemeral port number. The web server returns a web page with a form to allow you, or anyone in your local network, to upload one or more files at once to the machine running the program. Then, you can leverage additional tools like ngrok to allow users outside your local network to access the web page and offer them an easy way to transfer one or more files to you without the risks that public file transfer services pose.
