Upload a file to web and download (https://transfer.sh/)

#  Upload a file (e.g. filename.txt):
curl --upload-file ./filename.txt https://transfer.sh/filename.txt
# the above command will return a URL, e.g: https://transfer.sh/tG8rM/filename.txt

# Next you can download it by:
curl https://transfer.sh/tG8rM/filename.txt -o filename.txt
