How to Share Code Snippets Privately (No Account, Auto-Delete)

Pasting code straight into Slack, email, or a ticket wrecks the indentation, wraps long lines, and leaves the snippet sitting in someone else's history indefinitely. A paste link keeps formatting intact, stays private, and cleans itself up. Here is how.

Why Not Just Paste Into Chat

• Formatting breaks — tabs, spaces, and long lines get mangled.
• It's permanent — the snippet lives in the channel history forever.
• Hard to read — no line numbers, no monospace, no raw view.

The Clean Way: A Paste Link

1. Go to fffiles.com, choose Paste text.
2. Drop in your snippet — formatting is preserved exactly.
3. Click Create link and share it. The recipient sees monospaced code with line numbers, plus Raw and Copy buttons.

Keep It Private

No account is needed to paste or to read. For sensitive code — credentials in a config, an internal script — add a password so only the intended person can open it, and a download limit so it burns after they've grabbed it. Everything auto-deletes on a schedule, so nothing lingers.

Works With Your Tools

Every paste has a /raw endpoint that returns plain text — pipe it straight into curl, a script, or your editor. Since the file type is unrestricted, you can also upload actual source files if you'd rather share the whole thing.
