How to copy text directly to a pastebin from the clipboard in Linux.

by

It is very easy to copy text to a online pastebin from the clipboard with Linux. This post will show you how to do this.

The https://0x0.st/ website is a very useful online pastebin. I am going to show how to send text to a pastebin like this.

Make sure xclip and curl are installed.

sudo apt-get install xclip curl

Then run this command to send text from the clipboard to the aforementioned pastebin.

4.4 Tue Oct 15 jason@Yog-Sothoth 0: $ xclip -sel c -o | curl -F file=@- https://0x0.st/
https://0x0.st/zfin.txt

Then the text is accessible from the weblink printed by the command. This is a very useful Linux tip, and could be used in a script to send text to the Internet automatically.
