Installation

sudo apt install jq -y

curl -sSLo ~/tusc https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adhocore/tusc.sh/master/tusc.sh
chmod +x ~/tusc && sudo ln -s ~/tusc /usr/local/bin/tusc

Getting Started

To get hands on locally, you can install tusd server.

Then,

# run tusd server (http://0.0.0.0:1080)
tusd -dir ~/.tusd-data &

# start uploading large files
DEBUG=1 tusc --host 0:1080 --file /full/path/to/large/file

While upload is in progress, you can force abort it using Ctrl+C

Then resume upload again:

DEBUG=1 tusc --host 0:1080 --file /full/path/to/large/file

It should start from where it last stopped.

You can check the uploaded files like so:

ls -al ~/.tusd-data

Feedback and suggestions are welcome and highly appreciated.

Thanks :)
