dev-host-cl

dev-host-cl is a python script that allows you to upload and manage files to http://d-h.st (Dev-Host) from a shell. It can be used anonymously or with your account's credentials.

Warning

dev-host-cl is now deprecated. This is due to changes in the Dev-Host service, including but not limited to:

An onslaught of ads.
Fake download buttons styled in the same manner as the actual download buttons.
The site being marked as untrustworthy by most major browser vendors, resulting in files not downloading.
The slow service provided to unregistered users and free users.
Dev-Host not responding to support requests when their API is broken or behaves differently than their documentation, which also seems unmaintained.

In light of this, we will now warn the user when using this tool, and will delay the program executing by 10 seconds.

To disable this, please use the --I-like-devhost-even-though-it-is-one-of-the-worst-services-around option.

If you're interested in alternatives, please check https://ptpb.pw/ or https://pomf.se/ for smaller downloads (<60M and <50M respectively), or https://androidfilehost.com/ Download

You can download and place the script in ~/bin to use it directly. For example:

     $ git clone git://github.com/GermainZ/dev-host-cl.git dev-host-cl
     $ cp dev-host-cl/devhost.py ~/bin/devhost
     $ chmod +x ~/bin/devhost

Dependencies

python3 or python2 (http://python.org/)
python-requests or python2-requests (http://python-requests.org/)

Installing python-requests

If you have root, Use pip, easy_install or your package manager to install requests

pip install requests
easy_install requests
apt-get install python-requests
pacman -S python-requests

If you do not have root, then install requests locally

curl -L https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/tarball/master | tar xz
cd kennethreitz-requests*
python setup.py install --user
cd ..
rm -rf master kennethreitz-requests*

Notes

It's not possible to have streaming uploads with the requests module and d-h. This means the whole file is loaded into your memory before being uploaded. I might look into other modules if I have the time, but it's not a priority at the moment.
