# pyshare
A simple python script that aims to replace the most basic functionalities (TL Note: the ones I used) of ShareX.
This wouldn't be necessary if ShareX had just been developed as a cross-platform project, but I digress.  
Needless to say, this is being developed for and tested on Linux. If you're on Windows, just use ShareX.\
~~Only (s)ftp uploads for now~~ I added simple curl commands (like used by 0x0), as well as a small server that can receive them.
I should add that the focus will be on a self-hosted server. If you don't care about that, just `curl` 0x0.st or something.
#### What works:
- Taking area screenshots
- Uploading screenshots to (s)ftp
- Generating a link from that and putting it into the clipboard
#### What's planned
- Local file upload
- Mirroring url contents on the remote server

### Dependencies
`pysftp` which can be installed via pip:
```
$ pip install pysftp
```
`escrotum` which should be available in your favorite package manager 
(or pre-installed, depending on your distribution and desktop environment).

### Usage
Change all the relevant variables in `config.py` and execute
```
$ python3 pyshare
```
Depending on your window manager, you can bind this to a hotkey. To cancel the capture, simply right-click. 
The script will then, uh, terminate (which is fancy speak for crash because it really doesn't matter).
