For months I have been trying to figure out a command line cURL method of posting a file to a secure site. The file must be POSTed, and a user name and password are required to login. Can anyone tell me what my potential problem could be with the below command? Any help is greatly appreciated.

curl -v -k -# -u username:password \
   https://www.somesite.com{/incoming/} \
   -F File=@/tmp/xmlfile.nrq \
   -A "Mozilla/4.0"

The output...
