https://transfer.sh/ is another neat service which allows you to upload a file easily using a tool such as curl and get a shareable link. There was one time when I only had Chrome Remote Desktop access to a machine without root, where this was a convenient way to share some files.

  $ curl --upload-file ./hello.txt https://transfer.sh/hello.txt
  https://transfer.sh/66nb8/hello.txt


In a similar vein[1], using the python client:

    $ dl-cli some/files
    https://dl.example.com/t=<hash>
additionally, the file is automatically cleared when it goes unused for a while. There is also FEX[2], which is geared more towards power-users and includes bi-directional transfers. Both are fully self-hosted and trivial to set-up.

http://termbin.com/ is very cool too, especially if you have nothing but netcat.

    $ < hello.txt nc termbin.com 9999
    http://termbin.com/e51k
