Maybe I don't understand what this service actually does. When you take away the file expiration and the convenience of not having to manage your own infrastructure what is left? I've had this script in ~/bin for years.

  SERVER="example.com"
  LOCATION="public_html/uploads"
  BASE_URL="http://$SERVER/uploads"
  
  scp "$1" "$SERVER:$LOCATION"
  echo "$BASE_URL/$1" | xclip -i

OP here. Yes, I have plans to opensource this. I'm just looking for the right awesome design, then it will be opensourced.

It's quite heavyweight.. but I just installed https://owncloud.org/ on my own play VPS recently. Very happy with it so far. It's basically open source DropBox.

I built one that doesn't expire files and we're planning to open source it: http://purrrl.link
