### Pastebin clients

See also [Wikipedia:Pastebin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastebin "wikipedia:Pastebin").

Pastebin services are often used to quote text or images while collaborating and troubleshooting. Pastebin clients provide a convenient way to post from the command line.

**Tip:** You can access the [ptpb.pw](https://ptpb.pw), [sprunge.us](http://sprunge.us/) and [ix.io](http://ix.io/) pastebins using curl. For example pipe the output of a command to ptpb: `*command* | curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw ` or upload a file (including images): `curl -F c=@- https://ptpb.pw < *file*` 

**Note:** [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/) is blocked for some people and has a history of annoying issues (javascript, adverts, poor formatting, etc).
