fpaste
fpaste is a command-line front-end for the Fedora Pastebin service at
fpaste.org. It allows easy uploading of multiple files, or of copy&pasted
text from stdin, without requiring a web browser. A unique fpaste link is
returned, which can then be given to others who are offering help.
e.g.:
[joeuser@localhost ~]$ fpaste /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Why?
- PRIMARY: users don't like being flooded with large amounts of text, and
encourage the use of pastebin sites & utilities instead.
- A GUI browser like firefox might be inaccessible.
- A TUI browser like lynx might be too cumbersome.
- Multiple files can be fpasted.
- It's often faster & more convenient to use the cli than to copy/paste in a
browser's textarea.
- Why not?
