Pastebin services

Without a dedicated client

Some services can be used with more general command line tool, such as CURL. For extensions, such as line numbers, one can use more command line tools. Such as cat -n.

ix.io. Usage examples are:

command |& curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

or upload a file:

curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io < file

sprunge.us has a similar service, and also offers a plain HTML form. Usage examples are:

command |& curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us

or upload a file:

curl -F 'sprunge=<-' sprunge.us < file

Note that you can append ?<lang> to the returned URL to get syntax highlighting for <lang> (e.g. http://sprunge.us/xxxxxx?bash for a bash configuration file or script).

As of December 2021, it also seems that sprunge.us accepts longer input than ix.io.
