Tus Client as Binary

A Tus protocol client as a single binary file.

You can use it to upload a file to a Tus server or just to try if a Tus server is properly configured.

Getting Started

Download the pre-built binary for your Operating System from the Release page.

Then upload a file to a tus.io based server

$ tus-client upload <FILE> <TUS_SERVER>
# e.g. tus-client.exe upload readme.md https://master.tus.io/files/

running tus-client without command and options outputs the help message

Commands and options

Options, when no command is specified

• -V (or --version): output the program version
• -h (or --help): output the help message

Commands

upload [options] <file> <server>  Upload a <file> to the Tus <server>

The upload carries the following automatic metadata

• filename: The name of the file being uploaded
• filesize: The file size
• filetype: The file mime type (based on the file extension)
• upload_request_id: An identifier associated to the request

Arguments

• <file> the file to upload (required)
• <server> the Tus server endpoint URL (required)

Options

• -h (or --help) Output usage information
• --meta [data] Add custom metadata to the upload. Please format the [data] string as a key/value map, separated by a comma, e.g. "token=hello,request_id=counter"

Example

Upload a file and pass a custom token metadata, with the value of ABCD

tus-client.exe upload --meta "token=ABCD" readme.md https://master.tus.io/files/
