ERROR - curl: (26) failed creating formpost data

I'm completely new to cURL.
I've trying to use it from the command line (Windows 2000), getting the
above error, when trying to send a file.

D:\CURL\curl-7.17.0>curl https://access.webmd.com/ITS/post.aspx -F
"wsUSerID=<IT
ST_AQDMSI>" -F "wsPassword=<z7QL8q9a>" -F "wsMessageType=X12" -F
"wsRealtimeFile
=@<d:\270testFiles\270test2S.txt"

or when just sending data:

D:\CURL\curl-7.17.0>curl https://access.webmd.com/ITS/post.aspx -F
"wsUSerID=<IT
ST_AQDMSI>" -F "wsPassword=<z7QL8q9a>" -F "wsMessageType=X12" -F
