Hi guys,

I think it would be nice to add directory support in the given alias. We could first create a tarball of it and then upload it. Something like this:

transfer() {
  file=$1

  if [[ -d $1 ]]; then
    file=$(basename $1).tar.gz
    tar cvzf $file $1
  fi

  # write to output to tmpfile because of progress bar
  tmpfile=$( mktemp -t transferXXX )
  curl --progress-bar --upload-file $file https://transfer.sh/$(basename $file) >> $tmpfile
  cat $tmpfile;
  rm -f $tmpfile;
}

What do you think?
