fb-client is a lightweight shell-script utility designed for interacting with the paste.xinu.at pastebin service. It enables users to effortlessly upload text snippets or files from the command line, generating shareable URLs instantly. The tool leverages standard utilities like curl for network operations, making it highly portable and easy to integrate into automated workflows.
Key Features:
  • Shell-script based for maximum portability
  • Simple CLI for uploading text or files
  • Generates short, shareable URLs
  • Supports custom expiration settings
Use Cases:
  • Sharing code snippets or logs with colleagues
  • Automating log uploads in shell scripts
  • Quickly pasting text from terminal output
Alternatives:
