Re: Upload zip file via Dropbox Api and curl

Hi Greg-DB,

 

What modifications are required to upload large files (~50gb) using curl on a CentOS server? My apologies, I am quite the newbie to bash! This is the code:

curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload \
--header "Authorization: Bearer XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"path\": \"/Project_backup/Backup_files.tar.gz\"}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
--data-binary @"Backup_files.tar.gz"

It hangs for a while then I get this error whatever it means....:
