Transfer.sh is an open-source tool that helps users to easily share large files without using any external storage devices. it allows users to transfer files of up to 10 GB with ease. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing transfer.sh on Debian Latest.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, login to your Debian system and update the system to the latest version using the following command:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
Next, you need to install some dependencies required by Transfer.sh. Run the following command to install them:
$ sudo apt-get install curl wget tar
Transfer.sh provides an installation script that installs transfer.sh on your system. Use the following command to download and run the script:
$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/transferwise/transfer.sh/master/src/install.sh | sh
The installation script will start the service automatically. If by some chance, the script didn't start the service, use the following command to start the service manually:
$ sudo systemctl start transferwise.service
After starting the service successfully, you may verify whether it is running by running the following command:
$ systemctl status transferwise.service
It should display the service status as "active (running)."
