Point CLI File Upload

Upload a file to storage using the Point CLI​

To upload any file to the distributed file storage of Point Network, simply run the following (replace testfile.txt with your file)

./point upload testfile.txt

This will upload the file to YNet and return a file hash that you can use to reference that file later.

Download the file using CURL​

To download the file you can use the following CURL command.

Note you need to start the Point Node conected to Ynet and replace e0bc2350c29534631ddd856bfbb65b41b2cf80795592b7227acaf82d1a743dbc with your file id.

curl --proxy "127.0.0.1:8666" https://point/_storage/e0bc2350c29534631ddd856bfbb65b41b2cf80795592b7227acaf82d1a743dbc --cacert ../pointnetwork/resources/certs/ca.crt 

You will see the contents of the file you uploaded in the previos step appear in the console.
