You must use a 28trailing slash (/) on the last directory to prove to curl that there is no 29filename or curl thinks that your last directory name is the remote filename 30to use. 31 32When putting the local filename at the end of the URL, curl ignores what is on 33the left side of any slash (/) or backslash (\) used in the filename and only 34appends what is on the right side of the rightmost such character. 35 36Use the filename `-` (a single dash) to use stdin instead of a given file. 37Alternately, the filename `.` (a single period) may be specified instead of 38`-` to use stdin in non-blocking mode to allow reading server output while 39stdin is being uploaded. 40 41If this option is used with an HTTP(S) URL, the PUT method is used. 42 43You can specify one --upload-file for each URL on the command line. Each 44--upload-file + URL pair specifies what to upload and to where. curl also 45supports globbing of the --upload-file argument, meaning that you can upload 46multiple files to a single URL by using the same URL globbing style supported 47in the URL. 48 49When uploading to an SMTP server: the uploaded data is assumed to be RFC 5322 50formatted. It has to feature the necessary set of headers and mail body 51formatted correctly by the user as curl does not transcode nor encode it 52further in any way. 53
