What is it?

Goploader is a file sharing tool made of a server and a client, both written in Go. It is aimed at sharing files quickly from a terminal, as well as from a browser for people who do not use one.

The server is meant to be run by you, and the project includes a Docker image and a setup web interface. The client, named gpldr, uploads files from the command line. Uploads are encrypted on the server side, and the project's stated focus is on privacy.

Because the server accepts standard HTTP uploads, plain curl, httpie and wget can also be used to send files without installing the client.
