Formfind reports this:

--- FORM report. Uses POST to URL
"http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager/upload"
Input: userfile (FILE)
Input: userfile (FILE)
Input: userfile (FILE)
Input: userfile (FILE)
Input: userfile (FILE)
Select: numfiles
  One option (name "") = "1"
  One option (name "") = "2"
  One option (name "") = "3"
  One option (name "") = "4"
  One option (name "") = "5"
  One option (name "") = "6"
  One option (name "") = "7"
  One option (name "") = "8"
  One option (name "") = "9"
  One option (name "") = "10"
  One option (name "") = "11"
  One option (name "") = "12"
  One option (name "") = "13"
  One option (name "") = "14"
  One option (name "") = "15"
  One option (name "") = "16"
  One option (name "") = "17"
  One option (name "") = "18"
  One option (name "") = "19"
  One option (name "") = "20"
[end of select]
Input: operation=Display (SUBMIT)
Input: op-upload=Upload (SUBMIT)
Input: lowercase (CHECKBOX)
Input: addhtml (CHECKBOX)
--- end of FORM

And this is a multipart form. Use -F extensively, similar to this:

curl -F userfile=@filetoupload -F numfiles=1 -F op-upload=Upload -F
lowercase=CHECKED -F addhtml= http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager/upload

(I haven't actually tested this command line)

curl handles cookies fine. Then you just need to login with curl first, and
store the cookies and then make sure that the upload command line uses the
cookies from the login operation.
