Re: [CentOS] Bash cgi upload form

From: Sean Carolan scarolan@gmail.com

Anyone have a function or script for uploading files from a web browser with a bash script? I know this is possible to do with Perl, I'm wondering if the same is possible using only bash.

I use curl. It can be a bit tricky if you use POSTDATA... Here's the function I use:

# upload_file <URL> <POSTDATA> <FILE> function upload_file() { URL="$1" DATA="$2" FILE="$3" PARAMS="-F "file=@$FILE"" IFS="&" for PARAM in $DATA do PARAMS="$PARAMS -F "$PARAM"" done IFS=" " eval `echo curl $PARAMS $URL 2>/dev/null` if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then echo "curl error $?"; fi }
