This is not a script for pastebin.com or and publicly available pastebin service. There are plenty of those available already.

And you can pick any directory you want. That is just where I store my web files.

Thank you for the idea! I never thought to access pastebin with a script. Actually now I’m thinking about
accessing other website with scripts. I’m interested by your script because I could use pastebin in
the future. Just one question: why did you choose a filename of the form

mktemp ~/web/paste/XXXXXX

? Is it because it’s required by pastebin ? Can’t we use for example

~/web/paste/my_file

I do the same with my own pastebin implementation https://github.com/abique/paste-binouse

And I have the following bash function to past:

function paste-binouse-send()
(
host=”$1″
src=”$2″
temp=0

if [[ -z "$src" || "$src" = "-" ]] ; then
src=$(mktemp)
cat >”$src”
temp=1
fi

if [[ ! -r "$src" ]] ; then
return
fi

mime_type=$(file –mime-type “$src” | cut -f 2 -d ‘ ‘)
hdr=$(mktemp)
curl -D “$hdr” –data-urlencode “content-type=${mime_type}”
–data-urlencode “content@${src}” “$host”

echo “$host”$(sed -n ‘s/location: (.*)/1/p’ “$hdr”)
rm -rf “$hdr”
if [[ $temp -eq 1 ]] ; then
rm -f “$src”
fi
)
