ipfs-add

Tool to add a file or directory to IPFS. It acts like ipfs add command, but you don't need IPFS node running on your local machine. By default it uses Infura nodes (https://ipfs.infura.io:5001) to add file or directory to IPFS, all directories are added recursively.

Usage

USAGE:
  ./ipfs-add [options] <path>...

ARGUMENTS

  <path>... - The path to a file to be added to ipfs.

OPTIONS

  -H	Include files that are hidden. Only takes effect on directory add.
  -node string
    	The url of IPFS node to use. (default "https://ipfs.infura.io:5001")
  -v	Print program version.

You can now refer to the added directories or files in a gateway, like so:

• Folder

  https://ipfs.infura.io/ipfs/QmdGnC6rtZ7K7ERKnHuZCZcztbv9ZhBvsobHdgCowmX59F

• File in folder

  https://ipfs.infura.io/ipfs/QmdGnC6rtZ7K7ERKnHuZCZcztbv9ZhBvsobHdgCowmX59F/1375%20-%20Astronaut%20Vandalism.png

You can also use any other IPFS gateway instead of https://ipfs.infura.io/ like:

• https://ipfs.io/
• https://ipfs.eternum.io/
