  1. transfer.sh

    Easy and fast file sharing from the command-line.

    Project mention: Stop Pulling Unsafe Docker Images | dev.to | 2026-04-29

    We needed a small tool to move files from A to B without exposing them to the public internet. A self-hosted, secure replacement for WeTransfer. Our AI advisor suggested dutchcoders/transfer.sh. It is a popular self-hosted file-sharing tool in the Go ecosystem and seemed like the perfect fit. It offered simple uploads and downloads without a UI or complex authentication schemes. A minimal feature set usually means a minimal attack surface. It was exactly the shape of tool we were after.
