How do I respond to a file request using dbxcli?
How can I respond to a file request using dbxcli?
I don't have a GUI on the server that I want to send the files from.
I don't have a GUI on the server that contains the files I need to send so I need a way to do this on the command line. I've been send a file request, I've copied the URL but I don't know how to use that on the command line to send the files being requested.
Hi sapg,
Unfortunately such a thing is not supported by Dropbox (not officially at least). You can always make some upload using curl (or similar tool) though. 😉 You can trick (block in fact) your browser and perform dummy upload (not finished, since blocked in advance). Once you have all needed upload session data,... just use curl to do the same that would every web browser but on your headless device.
One more option (no so hacky) is using remote X session which will let you run web browser remote (no X server need to be installed remotely, but need to be locally - on the machine you're working on). Then... just upload whatever you need as you would make it local. Good and stable network connection between both devices is needed in this case!
And finally the most simple - just upload the intended files using your local browser; accessing the files using SFTP for instance (no so strong network stability is required).
Good luck.
