drpcli files upload

Upload [src] file or URL to the files area as [dest]

Synopsis

Upload a file to the DRP files area.

[src] can be a local file path or a URL. If only one argument is given, the file is stored using its base filename. If three arguments are given ([src] as [dest]), the file is stored at [dest] on the server.

The --explode flag triggers a two-stage process:

  1. The compressed archive (.zip, .tar.gz, etc.) is uploaded to [dest].
  2. The archive is extracted in-place using bsdtar, preserving internal paths relative to the destination directory.

This is useful for uploading entire directory trees or multi-file bundles in a single operation.
