file upload via curl in bash

Question

How can I upload a file in a POST field on my website via curl directly rather using curl in php? In php you can do this with:

<?
$fileupload="image.jpg";
$c = curl_init("file");
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
array('Filedata'=>"@$fileupload",'folder'=>'/target/'));
curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_exec($c);
curl_close($c);
?>

but how can this be done in a linux bash script with curl?

The CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option sent as a hash array becomes a series of -F uses. Something similar to this:

curl -F [email protected] -F folder=/target/ [URL]
