Curl command not uploading file contents

Hi I am using cURL command to upload a file which is a POST request to my local machine service.

I am using following commands to upload

curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F "/Users/myName/Folder/file.csv" http://localhost:port/api/fileupload

In my application side I am using spring frameworks web binding to receive the file

Following is the code snippet

public ResponseEntity importDimensions(@RequestBody MultipartFile file) {
     // file is variable is always null
}

What am I missing here?

You need an @ sign before the filename, like this: @/Users/myName/Folder/file.csv.

And if your server-side code is expecting a parameter named file then you need to do this:

-F "file=@/Users/myName/Folder/file.csv"
