upload file?

[nooobie123]

Is there any cli utility I can use to upload file to the internet?

The short answer is yes. A more helpful answer requires a much more detailed question.

Could you pls tell me what? I am trying to transfer config files from one pc to another via internet. Both are setup without X and one is intalled on vbox-ose(without usb support)...

scp?

Also what site you could recommend to use and how. I can't picture out uploading files thru cli. With a browser, basically you just sign-in and and hit upload button and you're done. How does it work with cli?

If it's just conf files, why don't you just do that? Use a text-based browser (e.g. www/w3m) and go to http://pastebin.com/.

nc(1), /usr/ports/ftp/curl, ...

Try scp() and sftp(). They're probably the fastest to set up.

Yeah just use `scp`. Chances are both machines already have ssh, and scp is very easy to use:

`scp <local file> username@remote.machine:/path/on/server/`

or to reverse it (grab a file from the remote server):

`scp username@remote.machine:/path/on/server/file.txt ./newfilename.txt`

Another plus is that since it uses ssh, scp is obviously secure

Set up passwordless keys, and you don't even need to enter a password every time.

... or rsync
rsync -v -c -r <localfile/directory> user@remotehost:/path/anywhere/
