Welcome to TCPaste, a single binary, self-hosted file server written in Rust.
🎉 Inspired by tools like termbin, TCPaste provides a modern and efficient way to share and display files via HTTP and TCP protocols directly from your terminal.
TCPaste offers a straightforward method for sharing files using netcat and other TCP tools. Whether you need to share (or exfiltrate 😈) logs, code snippets, or other text files, TCPaste is designed to handle it seamlessly.
- HTTP Server: List and access files through a web interface with clickable links for easy retrieval.
- TCP Server: Send data to be saved into new files, with automatic filename generation and management.
- Single Binary: Simple installation with no dependencies.
- Self-Hosted: Operate on your own server without external dependencies.
- File Sharing: Browse and retrieve files through an HTTP interface.
- Automatic Filenames: Random filenames for files created via TCP connections.
- Download the Binary: Download the latest release or build from source
cargo build. - Run the Server:
./tcpaste
The HTTP server will listen on port 80, and the ingress TCP server will listen on port 8888.
- List Files: Navigate to
http://127.0.0.1/to see all available files with clickable links. - Access Files: Click on any file link or use
GET /<filename>to retrieve the file contents.
- Send Data: Connect to the TCP server on port 8888 and send data. Each new connection creates a new file in the
filesdirectory. For instancecat /etc/passwd | nc 127.0.0.1 8888
This project comes under absolutely no security guarantee. It is a small tool we use internally and you must make sure you fully understand what it is before using it!
The HTTP endpoint should not be exposed to the internet, but only face your internal network and be accessible only to you and your collaborators.
