cURL command line to send a file to a website directory using FTP

Question

I have a website hosted in localhost. I'm using as a web server "EasyPHP".

I need to use a command line by cURL to send a file to a directory of the website.

Let's suppose that the URL of the website is :

localhost/testing_curl

And that "some_package.zip" is under the local directory :

C:\testing

So I need to make this command line work from MS-dos terminal :

curl -T some_package.zip localhost/test_curl/new_package_name.zip

And this :

curl -T some_package.zip http://localhost/test_curl/new_package_name.zip

I checked the configuration file php.ini and I un-commented this :

extension=php_curl.dll

Then I restarted EasyPHP. But this didn't help.

I keep get this error message :

  The PUT
  method is not allowed for the requested URL.

under this error code :

  Error 405

For info : This worked for me to send a header : How to send header using PHP curl command line?

Did you install CURL separately rather than as PHP extension with EasyPHP? — Jenson M John

Well, I have curl.exe under this directory : C:\Program Files\curl_733_0 and I added it to "Path". — Farah

Here what I've done to resolve the problem :

Control Panel > Security Center > Firewall > Exception > Add port. Then I added two ports :

Name : FTP Server Value : 21

Name : FTP-Data Value : 20
I installed FileZilla Server : here
FileZilla > Edit > Users > Add . Then I added a new user with password.
I shared these folders to the user I've created :

Only read right : C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\www

Full right (and absolutely "write" right) : C:\Program Files\EasyPHP 3.0\www\test_curl
I changed the curl command line to this (replace the variables by the right value):

curl --user %user_name%:%password% --ftp-create-dirs -T some_package.zip ftp://localhost/test_curl/new_package_name.zip
