What? ===== 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 Uploading... http://fpaste.org/rorn/ Why? ==== 1) PRIMARY: users don't like being flooded with large amounts of text, and encourage the use of pastebin sites & utilities instead. 2) A GUI browser like firefox might be inaccessible. 3) A TUI browser like lynx might be too cumbersome. 4) Multiple files can be fpasted. 5) It's often faster & more convenient to use the cli than to copy/paste in a browser's textarea. 6) Why not?
