tars — one-time file transfer

How it works

Send — pipe a file to the server and get a link.
Share — send the link to one person.
Burn — the first download streams the file and destroys the server copy. A second request returns 410 Gone.

curl -fsSL https://tz.tarbase.com/install | bash

Send a tz:

$ tars send report.pdf
https://tz.tarbase.com/d/AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz

Receive a tz:

$ tars get https://tz.tarbase.com/d/AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz
report.pdf  4.2 MiB  100%  done

Encrypt end-to-end — the key lives after the # and never reaches the server:

$ tars send report.pdf -e
https://tz.tarbase.com/d/AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz#k=Uk1vTm9QcVJzVHVWd1h5Wg

The link works exactly once. If the download is interrupted, the tz is burned and the sender must re-send.
Unburned links expire after 72 hours.
Maximum file size is 5 GiB.
No accounts, no keys. The URL is the only credential.
With -e, encryption happens on your machine. The server stores ciphertext and never sees the key — but anyone holding the full link can still decrypt, so share it like the file itself.
