(off-topic) Quick method of sending files from ssh to clients

Hey,

Little bit off topic, but quite relevant for the busy coder. 

Often I needed to quickly grab a file off a server, or send to a client, but it took me 2-3 minutes to fire up an SCP client, find the file, send it etc etc.

So I created a small script (depends on sendmail and uuencode/sharutils) to send files via email:

 foxx@sws01.internal [~] > cat /usr/sbin/sendfile

#!/bin/sh

if [ -z "$1" ] || [ -z "$2" ] || [ ! -f $1 ] ; then

    echo "syntax: [filename] [email address]"

else

    (echo "file attached."; uuencode $1 $1) | mail -s "file attach: $1" $2

    echo "File sent to $2"

fi

Usage:

 foxx@sws01.internal [~] > /usr/sbin/sendfile ~/lol cal.leeming@simplicitymedialtd.co.uk

File sent to cal.leeming@simplicitymedialtd.co.uk

Hopefully someone else will benefit from these 6 lines of code which saved me so much time :)
