curl upload to sharepoint

Question

i am at a university which has an office 365 license. i am using sharepoint to store project data, and would like to use curl from the command line to post files to the sharepoint site programmatically. i have seen some general guidance on this from various online sources, but seem am receiving a 403 error. Presumably my sharepoint site is declining access. Is there a tip for getting curl to work in saving files to sharepoint?

Hi @Broeckling,Corey
403 error usually caused by your permissions to the folder haven’t replicated correctly on the server. Please check if you have the correct permission to the folder you want to upload files by following steps.

After check the permission you can upload a file by following code

 string userName = "******@xxxx.onmicrosoft.com";  
 string password = "xxx";  
 var securePassword = new SecureString();  
 foreach (char c in password)  
 {  
     securePassword.AppendChar(c);  
 }  
 using (var clientContext = new ClientContext("https://xxx.sharepoint.com/sites/test"))  
 {  
     clientContext.Credentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(userName, securePassword);  
     Web web = clientContext.Web;  
     clientContext.Load(web, a => a.ServerRelativeUrl);  
     clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
     List documentsList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("Contact");  
      
     var fileCreationInformation = new FileCreationInformation();  
     //Assign to content byte[] i.e. documentStream  
      
     fileCreationInformation.Content = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"D:\document.pdf");  
     //Allow owerwrite of document  
      
     fileCreationInformation.Overwrite = true;  
     //Upload URL  
      
     fileCreationInformation.Url = "https://testlz.sharepoint.com/sites/jerrydev/" + "Contact/demo" + "/document.pdf";  
      
     Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File uploadFile = documentsList.RootFolder.Files.Add(fileCreationInformation);  
      
     //Update the metadata for a field having name "DocType"  
     uploadFile.ListItemAllFields["Title"] = "UploadedviaCSOM";  
      
     uploadFile.ListItemAllFields.Update();  
     clientContext.ExecuteQuery();  
      
 }
