RE: Having trouble uploading a file using cURL

This is going to be very messy!
Below is the output of curl. I would let you see and test but I am on a
secure intranet.
Where the ||| are I am attempting to write the form response of File1= but
there is nothing there. My guess is the ASPSimpleUpload is not working well
with cURL?
Kevin,
As for using another application/object to do it, I think I want to do it
the most robust way. I will be sending ~ 25,000 Txt files @ ~20K each over
a 24 hour period. Currently I am doing this through Header information
using httpccmd.exe and converting the output on the server with asp. While
this works, it is very slow and CPU intensive.

Chad:
If you're looking for alternative tools to ASPSimpleUpload, I highly
recommend Software Artisans' SAFileUp tool. They've got a nice array of
client tools (Java, ActiveX) that go along with it if you're doing any
serious file uploads. Otherwise, they also support standard Forms-based
uploads like you're trying. They've also got a reasonably good set of
documentation to show you how to use the tool. I am not related to the
company, just a happy user. http://www.softarts.com/
However, if you are able to successfully upload using a browser, but not
via curl, then the problem lies with curl (or your use of it).
My first guess is that you're possibly having file security issues. But
that's just a wild guess.
If you can send me the output from your latest attempt with curl
(include the -v and -i flags so I can see the whole picture), I would be
happy to attempt to help.

First off, Thank you for the quick response!
I did get a response from the page with the new command string below,
but
the object is still not recognizing the form information. I am going to
look into setting up a CGI script/Page to upload to the server. Could
someone point me to either a good example or documentation on how to
setup a
CGI upload using IIS 5?

I know totally nothing about ASP so I can't help you on that part.

The correct commnad line to upload to that form should look something
similar
to:
curl -F File1=@c:\temp\Drives.txt -F "submit=Upload%20Now" \
myserver.com/upload/Example1.asp

The curl command line must point out the exact URL to upload to.
