NAME

       pbput - compress and encode arbitrary files to pastebin.com

       pbputs - compress, encrypt, encode arbitrary files to pastebin.com

       pbget - decode and decompress arbitrary files from pastebin.com

SYNOPSIS

       pbput [FILENAME]

       cat foo | pbput

       pbputs [FILENAME] [GPG_USER]

       cat foo | pbputs [GPG_USER]

       pbget URL [DIRECTORY]

DESCRIPTION

       pbput is a program that can upload text files, binary files or entire directory structures to a pastebin,
       such as pastebin.com.

       pbget is a program that be used to retrieve content uploaded to a pastebin by pbput.

       pbputs operates exactly like pbput, except it encrypts  the  data.   An  optional  GPG_USER  argument  is
       allowed,  which  will  sign  and  encrypt  the  data  to the target user in one's keyring (which could be
       oneself!).  Otherwise, the user is prompted for a symmetric passphrase for encrypting  the  content  with
       gpg(1)  before  uploading.   pbget  will  automatically  prompt  the  receiving  user  for the pre-shared
       passphrase.

       pbput and pbputs can take its input either on STDIN, or as a FILENAME argument.
         - If STDIN is used, then the receiving user's pbget will simply paste the input on STDOUT.
         - If a FILENAME or DIRECTORY is passed as an argument, then  it  is  first  archived  using  tar(1)  to
       preserve the file and directory attributes

       pbget  takes  a  URL  as  its  first,  mandatory  argument.  Optionally, it takes a DIRECTORY as a second
       parameter.  If the incoming data is in fact a file or file structure in a tar(1) archive, then that  data
       will  be  extracted in the specified DIRECTORY.  If no DIRECTORY is specified, then a temporary directory
       is created using mktemp(1).

       In any case the uploaded/downloaded data  is  optionally  tar(1)  archived,  always  lzma(1)  compressed,
       optionally gpg(1) encrypted, and always base64(1) encoded.  http://pastebin.com is used by default.
