I want to upload a file to a WebDAV server within Linux command line. The standard recommendation for this is to use curl in the following way:
curl -u mail_address:password -T filename.ext https://my_server.com/dav/filename.ext
When I execute this command, it shows me a greater-than sign in the command prompt, as if my command was incomplete, no uploading happens:
$ curl -u mail_address:password -T filename.ext https://my_server.com/dav/filename.ext
$ >
However, it doesn't tell me what I have to type here, and no positing on the internet (e.g. Is there a way of uploading to box.com storage via the command line?) ever mentioned that you have to type some additional stuff after this command. Any ideas how to fix this? mail_address and password refer to an existing account, and filename.ext refers to an existing file on my machine.
P.S.
- Ubuntu 14.04
- curl 7.35.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.35.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1f zlib/1.2.8 libidn/1.28 librtmp/2.3
Indeed, there was a quotation mark in my password. Thanks. – manuel – 2016-07-26T13:01:23.807
