cURL command to upload file does not upload file

So I have a Java API and I use cURL commands to send GET/POST requests to my API. I'm using Springboot in my Java API. My cURL command looks like this:

curl -X POST \
  https://localhost:8443/abc/code/v \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
  -F file=@/path/to/file.txt

and my Java Springboot method that receives this request looks like this:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, value = "/{code}/{v}")
    public ResponseEntity<Object> uploadTemplate( //
            @ApiParam(value = "code desc") //
            @PathVariable final String code, //
            @ApiParam(value = "v desc") //
            @PathVariable final String v, //
            @RequestParam("file") MultipartFile file
    ) throws IOException {
        //log.info("received [url: /tabc/" + code + "/" + v + ", method: POST");
        System.out.println("file: "+ file.getName());
}

which prints out "file: file"

It doesn't look like file.txt is uploaded to the server at all! What am I doing wrong? I've looked up on Google but it looks like I'm doing nearly everything.

The MultipartFile.getName returns the name of the parameter in the multipart form.

To get the bytes of the MultipartFile use file.getBytes()

And if your MultipartFile is a text file you could use this utility method to retrieve a list of the lines in that text file:

    public List<String> read(MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
        InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(file.getInputStream());
        try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(in)) {
            return reader.lines().collect(Collectors.toList());
        }
    }
