Just to add;
Use the "-v" option to "prove" that you're doing a POST... as some web servers get weird about URL's with anything to the right of the question-mark.  

For instance,   I sometimes have to do a POST in the form of:    http://www.nowhere.com/page.aspx?param=this

 With the -d option, and data like;   "this=that&x=y"

 ...And it WON'T work with a URL of
   http://www.nowhere.com/page.aspx

and -d data of "param=this&this=that&x=y"

...You soon will find that the "big trick" with CURL is "reverse engineering" what the remote site is doing.

BUT-   just out of curiosity... are you speaking of posting a file to a web server?  If so, things get a little complicated  on the web server side... The web server needs to specifically allow this. I in fact have never tried file upload with CURL- and if I have time, I may just try it tomorrow :-)

Tenga Cuidado  (did I say that right?)

Read http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html
With special attention to the switch:

-d/--data <data>

(HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server, in
a way that can emulate as if a user has filled in a HTML form and
pressed the submit button. Note that the data is sent exactly as
specified with no extra processing (with all newlines cut off). The data
is expected to be "url-encoded". This will cause curl to pass the data
to the server using the content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Compare to -F/--form <#-F--form>. If this option is used more than once
on the same command line, the data pieces specified will be merged
together with a separating &-letter. Thus, using '-d name=daniel -d
skill=lousy' would generate a post chunk that looks like
'name=daniel&skill=lousy'.

This is def. where you should start!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! ?????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
