Well, <dope slap> I think I understand the problem now: CURL is operating from the server so it knows nothing about C: on the client!
So how do I solve my problem? I want to upload multiple files from C: to the server based on a single wildcard spec typed into an HTML form by the user.

PHP 5.2.1 on Apache/Linux. Client is Firefox and IE7 on Windows XP. Uploading C:\boot.ini works great from an HTML type="file" form element but fails using what should be the equivalent: curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,array('peru'=>'@C:/boot.ini')); CURL error is "failed creating formpost data". Same CURL works when the test file resides on the PHP server: curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,array('peru'=>'@/home/user/boot.ini')); so problem seems to be in the '@C:/boot.ini' filespec. Substituting '@C:\boot.ini' or '@C:\\boot.ini' doesn't help. What am I doing wrong?
