transfersh: Upload a specific directory as an uncompressed tar.
$ transfersh -rt ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command transfersh -rt ${path-to-directory} is used to upload a directory or folder to Transfer.sh via the command line.

Here's a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • transfersh: This is the name or alias of the command or script that is being executed. In this case, it refers to a specific tool or script named "transfersh" that is designed for uploading files and directories to Transfer.sh.

  • -rt: These are command-line options or flags that modify the behavior of the transfersh command. The exact meaning of these flags may vary depending on the specific implementation of the transfersh tool, but generally, -r indicates recursive upload, meaning that the contents of the specified directory and its subdirectories will be uploaded. The -t flag might indicate that the file transfer should be done as a tarball, preserving the directory structure.

  • ${path-to-directory}: This is a placeholder for the actual path or location of the directory that you want to upload. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory or folder on your local system. For example, it could be something like /home/user/Documents/my-directory.

Overall, the command is instructing the transfersh tool to upload the specified directory to Transfer.sh, possibly preserving the directory structure by creating a tarball (compressed archive file).
