API Upload Always Zero

jimbob1977

When I upload a file using the code below the file appears in my folder at zero size.

Uploading the file manually works fine. so I know the file is ok

I've looked thru similar old posts but I'm still struggling - any advice??

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
  --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}' 
  --data-binary @/Splash.jpeg

It looks like you don't have a continuation "\" on the second to last line, like there is on the other lines, so the last line may not actually be given to curl which would result in no data being upload. Try adding that "\" back.

So First I Tried This (Adding The /)

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
  --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}'\ 
  --data-binary @/Splash.jpeg

This Gave The Response.

-bash: --data-binary: command not found

So I Put A Space Between ' & \ To Give.

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' \
  --header 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}' \ 
  --data-binary @/Splash.jpeg

Now I Get The Response

curl: (6) Could not resolve host:

Both Add The File But Both At Zero Content????

Hi @jimbob1977,

What are results from following commands:

host content.dropboxapi.com
stat /Splash.jpeg

If the above commands results are as expected, probably you have messed up curl command arguments. Try to put everything on a single line:

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload -H 'Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN' -H 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' -H 'Dropbox-API-Arg: {"path":"/RoomVT/Clown2.jpeg"}' --data-binary @/Splash.jpeg

If some error brings up again, post entire error, not just part (i.e. which host couldn't be resolved, for example).
