I am attempting to PUT a z/OS load module on a Linux system into a repository to be pulled later and run on z/OS. I am using
curl -X PUT -k -u userid:passowrd
-v -T --data-binary @/folder/Jzosfile.so
“https://dnsname/path/filename”

I get an error “curl: Can’t open ‘–data-binary’!”. Is this not a valid option on PUT? I see people asking questions about cURL POST with --data-binary but not PUT.

Any suggestions on how to put a file in binary from cURL? I do it all the time FTP but what I am putting this do does not support FTP.

Thank you

Hi,

If you use -T or --upload-file option, PUT will be use by default for HTTPS.
–data-binary is using for POST requests but it can be changed to PUT:
https://ec.haxx.se/http-put.html
If you want to upload file on FTP or HTTP server, you need to run:
curl -u userid:password -v -T /folder/Jzosfile.so “ftp://dnsname/path/filename”
or
curl -k -u userid:password -v -T /folder/Jzosfile.so “https://dnsname/path/filename”
or
curl -k -u userid:password --data-binary “@/folder/Jzosfile.so” -X PUT “https://dnsname/path/filename”

The binary transfer mode is default for curl if you are using -T(–upload-file) option.
But there is an another problem - a bug connected with binary mode. The uploaded file can be coverted to another encoding.
Unfortunately, this bug is not fixed yet.

Thanks,
Sergey

Hi Kevin.

Just my 2ct.
I got a similar problem and over here I had to change the @ to § because of Codepage mismatch.
