Linux to internet

Hi there,

I have an open-ended problem which I am unable to solve and am asking for help.

I need to be able to send a file from my buildroot build to somewhere on the internet. This can be done over email or using a server such as OneDrive .etc

Does anyone have any suggestions and how to do it?

P.S I am doing it over cellular data and this has been confirmed to work with my build.

hi. First can you connect to things, like ping or nc/telnet/ftp?

That's not very specific. What connection options do you have available for this mysterious "somewhere"? ftp, sftp, rsync, scp are all standard command line file transfer tools, which should work just fine assuming the server you're trying to send the file to supports them.

Heck, even just curl can do it depending on WHAT you're moving it to!!
