I wrote this because I often need to get a file (e.g. a log file) from an internal system in production to my laptop. I would have to upload to an intermediate server and then have to log into the intermediate server to download my file. Now it's 'sbit3 file' and then I simply just curl the file down on my laptop.

Comments (and merge requests!) welcome. :) I'd also love to hear about what other use cases you guys can think of.

So it's SCP?

From reading it, not quite. There's no need for a name and password, and the file will auto-delete it self after some time. SCP won't let you delete, to my knowledge. You'd have to SSH in and delete it manually.

As with most small projects, this fulfills a very specific need for the creator. It lets them be more efficient by removing a small problem from their workflow.

Edit: Looks like the auto-delete isn't implemented yet, though.
