Hello Jose, I am sure I want to do a POST as PUT is not supported by the Apache Server I am using. The Server machine has enough memory to accept a 6-10 MB file. I have tried the following but to no avail : 1) w3c -post -dest http://server/script.xyz <input file> where in2) w3c -post -form http://server/script.xyz < input.file Result : Cant access resource. 2) w3c -post -form http://server/script.xyz < input.file Result : Cant access resource 3) This is only version that works : w3c -post -form http://server/script.xyz var1=value1 var2=value2 The problem with this method is that the argv list becomes very long and w3c complains w3c: Arg List too long. Result : Cant access resource. Please let me know what is the correct syntax to post a file and not have restrictions on the size. If there is another utility I need to use please advise me.
