WETCLI

WET(ransfer)CLI

A very basic python 🐍 cli for uploading files and directiory using WeTranser. Runs an headless browser to speed up the usual stuff you do when you generate a link by hand.

PREREQUISITES

You need to have python (3.9.5) installed and geckodriver since the cli uses an headless Firefox to do its stuff.

INSTALL

python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

echo $(pwd)/env/bin/python
# copy the result on the first line of the wetcli.py script, to have a working shebang

export PATH="$PATH:${PWD}"
ln -s ${PWD}/wetcli.py $HOME/bin/wetcli

USAGE

Use the option -d to upload a directory

wetcli -d my_awesome_directory

Use the option -f to upload a single file:

wetcli -f my_awesome_file.txt

In both cases the cli will sanitize the files (excluding unwanted files like .DS_Store), check for duplicates and that the total sum is below 2GB. You can also add a custom message using the -m option:

wetcli -f my_awesome_file.txt -m "Here my awesome file"

NEXT STEPS:

• make it an actual cli
• files only in test_files
• validate file size and unique name
• a proper installer
• email mode?
