Testing upload bandwidth from the command line
 
For download bandwidth, I can do

wget --output-document=/dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com...ds/test500.zip

or the curl equivalent

curl -o /dev/null http://speedtest.wdc01.softlayer.com...ds/test500.zip

But I have a virtual private server vps running on a cloud, no gui installed nor do I want one. So I'm more interested in the up-bandwidth. How can I do that?

if you have bash installed:
Code:
time for i in $(seq 1000) ; do cat out ; done >/dev/udp/1.1.1.1/1

Where is the out file supposed to come from?

let it be 100Mib file:
Code:
dd count=204800 of=out if=/dev/zero >out

This will send a 105 mb file 1000 times to (i don't know where)?

No, it's:

/dev/udp/1.1.1.1/1

Not sure what that is

I left this for loop running for hours, and it's just hung. I know my connection on the VPS is not that slow.
