dbxcli: can’t put to a folder

 

Here is the directory structure

humility@TNT ~/client/project: dbxcli ls
/Photos
/Public /Apps /humility /Getting Started.pdf

There is no TODO.txt in there…

humility@TNT ~/client/project: dbxcli ls /humility
/humility/_results
/humility/_dataRawUnprocessed /humility/_dataProcessed /humility/_rScripts /humility/plots

/humility/TODO

#Putting does not work
humility@TNT ~/client/project: dbxcli put TODO.txt /humility
Uploading 354 B/354 B
Error: path/conflict/folder/...
#Why?
humility@TNT ~/client/project: dbxcli put -v TODO.txt /humility

This error makes no sense to me.

 

 

 

If I can use a modified curl command that would be fine.
