STEP 1 - CREATE AUTOAPPS PROFILE

• Create a new profile with the AutoApps Command event condition
• Set the Command Filter to pi=:=
• Set the Variable Names to file
• Accept and create an entry task

This will make the profile create a %file variable whenever it's triggered with the value on the right of =:= which in this case will be the url of a file pushed from Chrome on your PC

STEP 2 - READ SERVER SETTINGS

• Add a Flash action showing that you are going to upload the file
• Add an AutoTools Json Read action
• Set the Json field to %XBIAN
• Set the Fields field to server,user,password

I had previously saved my raspberry pi SSH server settings in a JSON string in a Tasker global variable. The JSON is something like this:

Code (Text):

{
    "server":"192.167.6.5",
    "user":"my user",
    "password":"my password"
}

STEP 3 - SEND FILE TO SSH SERVER

• Add an AutoTools SSH action
• Set the server settings accordingly
• Set the Local Files field to %file
• Set the Remote Files field to backups/

By ending the Remote Files with / you're telling AutoTools to keep the original file name and send the file to the specified folder. This would work with multiple files as well.

• Accept and go back to Tasker
• Add another Flash action saying that the upload is done.

STEP 4 - TEST

If you now go to your Chrome browser, right click on an image -> Join -> Your Device -> Image -> Send Tasker Command and write pi it'll start uploading that file to your Raspberry Pi into the specified folder.
