How to Properly Use `curl` to Pass a File Object in a Request?

18 Replies, 1746 Views

Hey everyone,

So, I’ve been trying to figure out how to properly use `curl pass file object` in a request, and I’m kinda stuck. Like, I know you can use the `-F` flag to upload files, but I’m not entirely sure how to format it correctly.

For example, if I wanna send a JSON file, do I just do:
```bash
curl -F "file=@path/to/file.json" https://example.com/upload
```
or is there more to it?

Also, what if the server expects a specific field name for the file object? Do I need to tweak the command?

Any tips or examples would be super helpful! Thanks in advance, y’all.

Cheers!
