If anybody fixes this please remove the temp files creation in favor of the following snippet.


transfer() { 
    # check arguments
    if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then 
        echo "No arguments specified."
        echo "Usage:"
        echo "  transfer <file|directory>"
        echo "  ... | transfer <file_name>"
        return 1
    fi
    
    # upload stdin or file
    if tty -s; then 
        file="$1"
        if [ ! -e "$file" ]; then
            echo "$file: No such file or directory"
            return 1
        fi
        
        file_name=$(basename "$file" | sed -e 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]/-/g') 
        
        # upload file or directory
        if [ -d "$file" ]; then
            # transfer directory
            file_name="$file_name.zip" 
            (cd "$file" && zip -r -q - .) | curl --progress-bar --upload-file "-" "https://transfer.sh/$file_name" | tee /dev/null
        else 
            # transfer file
            cat "$file" | curl --progress-bar --upload-file "-" "https://transfer.sh/$file_name" | tee /dev/null
