Upload to RS Cloud Files From Command Line

Great article here:

First step is to get the X-Auth-Token:


curl -v -X GET -H "X-Auth-User: <username>" -H "X-Auth-Key: <api_key>" \
   "https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0"

curl -v -X GET -H "X-Auth-User: <username>" -H "X-Auth-Key: <api_key>" \

"https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v1.0"

Then send the upload request:


curl -X PUT -T <filename> -H "X-Auth-Token: <auth_token>" \
   "<storage_url>/<container_name>/<filename>";

curl -X PUT -T <filename> -H "X-Auth-Token: <auth_token>" \

"<storage_url>/<container_name>/<filename>";
