1 Long: upload-file 2 Short: T 3 Arg: <file> 4 Help: Transfer local FILE to destination 5 --- 6 This transfers the specified local file to the remote URL. If there is no file 7 part in the specified URL, curl will append the local file name. NOTE that you 8 must use a trailing / on the last directory to really prove to Curl that there 9 is no file name or curl will think that your last directory name is the remote 10 file name to use. That will most likely cause the upload operation to fail. If 11 this is used on an HTTP(S) server, the PUT command will be used. 12 13 Use the file name "-" (a single dash) to use stdin instead of a given file. 14 Alternately, the file name "." (a single period) may be specified instead 15 of "-" to use stdin in non-blocking mode to allow reading server output 16 while stdin is being uploaded. 17 18 You can specify one --upload-file for each URL on the command line. Each 19 --upload-file + URL pair specifies what to upload and to where. curl also 20 supports "globbing" of the --upload-file argument, meaning that you can upload 21 multiple files to a single URL by using the same URL globbing style supported 22 in the URL, like this: 23 24 curl --upload-file "{file1,file2}" http://www.example.com 25 26 or even 27 28 curl -T "img[1-1000].png" ftp://ftp.example.com/upload/ 29 30 When uploading to an SMTP server: the uploaded data is assumed to be RFC 5322 31 formatted. It has to feature the necessary set of headers and mail body 32 formatted correctly by the user as curl will not transcode nor encode it 33 further in any way. 34
