Query Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dir | string [Optional] |
/ | Specifies the directory to upload the file into. If it does not exist, it will be created Example: /path/to/folder |
| upload_mode | string [Optional] |
try-safe-2000ms | safe The request is blocked and the response is returned only after the file is being successfully stored in at least one storage backend. try-safe[-xxxms] The request is blocked for the duration of the timeout parameter or until the file is being successfully stored in at least one storage backend - whichever happens first. quick Returns the response as soon as the Uploader has received the file. This method has the benefit from returning an answer quickly but is unreliable as the actual upload in the storage backend takes place after the response is being returned and there is no acknowledgement from the storage backend. |

--header 'content-type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---011000010111000001101001' \
--header 'X-Filerobot-Key: 19692813e7364ef8ad6a6504d50a12ca' \
--form file=@yourfile.txtremotely hosted file
