Manual Installation

If you cannot choose any of above ways, follow below steps

1. Clone repository

$ git clone https://github.com/greymd/ttcopy.git ~/ttcopy

2. Edit .bashrc or .zshrc

Add following lines.

source ~/ttcopy/ttcp_activate.sh
For advanced users

ttcp_activate.sh adds ttcocpy/bin to $PATH. Instead of using it, you can copy ttcopy/bin and ttcopy/lib somewhere you want to place then make sure ttcopy/bin be listed under $PATH.

For example,

cp -rf ~/ttcopy/bin ~/ttcopy/lib /usr/local

echo "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin" >> ~/.zshrc" # if you need

Configuration

First of all, ttcopy command displays the screen to let you set default ID and Password. Please prepare ID and Password as you like. Be lazy! You are NOT required to register them on any services. The data you copied can be pasted within the hosts having same ID and Password.

$ ttcopy
Set default ID/Password.
Enter ID for ttcopy/ttpaste: myid001   #<= Enter your ID ("myid001" is just an example).
Enter password for ttcopy/ttpaste:    #<= Enter your password.
Enter same password again:            #<= Enter again.

Created credential file '/home/user/.config/ttcopy/config'
Execute 'ttcopy --init' to show this screen again.

Examples

Copy & Paste within multiple hosts!

Copy/Paste through proxy server

Commands load shell variable TTCP_PROXY as their proxy server for connection.

$ TTCP_PROXY="http://example.proxy.server2.com:5678" ttpaste
ABCDEFG

It is helpful to add this line to .bashrc or .zshrc if you are always using specific proxy server.

export TTCP_PROXY="http://example.proxy.server1.com:1234"
