pyshare

A very 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, but I might add simple curl commands (like used by 0x0) later on.

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).
