file upload via curl in bash

Question

How can I upload a file in a POST field on my website via curl directly rather using curl in php? In php you can do this with:

<? $fileupload="image.jpg"; $c = curl_init("file"); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('Filedata'=>"@$fileupload",'folder'=>'/target/')); curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_exec($c); curl_close($c); ?>

but how can this be done in a linux bash script with curl?

The CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option sent as a hash array becomes a series of -F uses. Something similar to this:

curl -F [email protected] -F folder=/target/ [URL]
