shell based dropbox

I'm looking for an ad-hoc (easy) way to share files with my remote server...

I want to call the uploader in a shell environment I created one script for that (maybe with less effort than using ruby or other language) for that, it only needs Curl installed on system and standard Unix commands like grep, tr and sed.

I'm a big dropbox fan, if you saw this tweet (via twitter) you'll have seen I'm pushing for DropBox referrals ... they entitle me to more online disk space :D

Today I got my 1st onel this is the e-mail I received:

Hi Nick,

After reading this from Ma.tt, I've downloaded dropbox, I've had it installed for less than an hour, but I figure they're worth a post purely for the kudos of releasing a true multi-platform application.

Finding something that can sync between my home linux box and work windohs machine is a real pain so I'm really hoping this will be the answer I've been looking for; it's not that win-linux sync'ing is impossible, it's just that it's usually restrictive or so complicated/ un-user-friendly that I never bother.

The only thing the service needs is some WordPress to "public box" integration and the solution is dam'ed near perfect ;)

While I to keep my fingers crossed that dropbox is everything I want it to be, why don't you try it out?
