| --- |
| This transfers the specified local file to the remote URL. If there is no file |
| part in the specified URL, curl will append the local file name. NOTE that you |
| must use a trailing / on the last directory to really prove to Curl that there |
| is no file name or curl will think that your last directory name is the remote |
| file name to use. That will most likely cause the upload operation to fail. If |
| this is used on an HTTP(S) server, the PUT command will be used. |
| |
| Use the file name "-" (a single dash) to use stdin instead of a given file. |
| Alternately, the file name "." (a single period) may be specified instead of |
| "-" to use stdin in non-blocking mode to allow reading server output while |
| stdin is being uploaded. |
| |
| You can specify one --upload-file for each URL on the command line. Each |
| --upload-file + URL pair specifies what to upload and to where. curl also |
| supports "globbing" of the --upload-file argument, meaning that you can upload |
| multiple files to a single URL by using the same URL globbing style supported |
| in the URL. |
| |
| When uploading to an SMTP server: the uploaded data is assumed to be RFC 5322 |
| formatted. It has to feature the necessary set of headers and mail body |
| formatted correctly by the user as curl will not transcode nor encode it |
| further in any way. |
