Upload an object not working with -d argument

[aquddos123]

I've tried several options to upload a zip file using -d argument but didn't work. When I replaced it with -T it worked.

curl -X "PUT" "https://(endpoint)/(bucket-name)/(object-key)" \
 -H "Authorization: bearer (token)" \
 -H "Content-Type: (content-type)" \
 -T "(object-contents)"

Hello @aquddos123, "-T" tells curl to upload file, and "-d" option tells http post data(content). So

This command will upload test.json to with object key name test.json

curl -X "PUT" "https://(endpoint)/(bucket-name)/test.json" \
 -H "Authorization: bearer (token)" \
 -H "Content-Type: (content-type)" \
 -T "test.json"

However, this command will create test.json object that contains text "test.json"'

curl -X "PUT" "https://(endpoint)/(bucket-name)/test.json" \
 -H "Authorization: bearer (token)" \
 -H "Content-Type: (content-type)" \
 -d "test.json"
