Comment on $ cat ~/myfile | curl -X PUT --upload-file “-” https://transfer.sh/myfile.txt

Comments

I might be unusual here, but I typically get stuck when trying to copy files off a remote Windows machine. Most recently was an aged Windows server with a version of internet explorer so old that all the modern file upload sites (e.g. https://file.io/) seemed to have JavaScript issues. Windows built in WebDAV support didn't work, because it's not installed on Windows server I think.

Can anyone come up with a way to use a service like this from an old version of Windows that lacks modern web browser, powershell and so on?

https://megatools.megous.com/ supports Windows. Not sure if it will run on an old version.

curl.exe / rsync.exe / winscp?

just transfer files from the old windows box using radmin or RDP

file.io has an API - you can just use curl for this
