Hi Balena Team,
Our team used file.io pretty extensively to move data to and from our Balena devices. We started using it after seeing it used by the Balena team in some of our support requests. I see they have “merged” with LimeWire and API no longer seems to be working. Do you have any alternatives you’d recommend that have an API that works from the command line like File.io
TIA
Hello @WestCoastDaz thanks for your message!
What are the API issues that you get when you use file.io? Did you connect with them in support?
Hi @mpous when I try and use the simple curl -F "file=@file.txt" https://file.io. I get the following response.
@WestCoastDaz i see what you mean! that’s unfortunate!
did you try Uguu.se?
same here. file.io api was personally convenient for free and regular backup with bash script. uguu.se seem to have too low storage limit and only 3 hrs persistence.
looking for alternatives.
Hi @WestCoastDaz ,
Have you tried using magic-wormhole? It establishes a peer-to-peer connection between your computer and your device for transferring files. If your device happens to be on the same local network as your computer, the transfer is done through the local network and would be faster than downloading the file from a 3rd-party site.
Their app is also available from most package managers of different operating systems so it should be simple to add to your containers.
