Unfortunately, that is not (yet) possible using the command line tool. I
would like curl to support the operation you tried, but I have not had time
to implement it. If you're up to it, I'll welcome patches that offer this
functionality!

To achieve what you want, the way to go is with one of the programming
language APIs for libcurl. By using perl, PHP, tcl or one of the many
supported languages, you can script-upload any number of files without
logging in several times.

We're mainly using mailing lists. There's a range of them, and you can read
about them all here: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/

I don't think the question is bad. It is ceratinly valid, as you can download
files using a syntax with multuple URLs next to each other.
