Uploading Files
In addition to downloading, `curl`
can also upload files to a server using various protocols. For example, to upload a file via FTP:
curl -T uploadfile.txt ftp://example.com/upload/
In this example, `-T uploadfile.txt`
specifies the file to be uploaded (`uploadfile.txt`
). The `-T`
flag is used to upload a file with FTP. `curl`
then sends the specified file to the FTP server located at `ftp://example.com/upload/`
. This is useful for automating file uploads or transferring files via FTP from the command line.
