How to upload a file with cURL

Question

Hi, I am trying to script an upload a file into a specific media gallery from my hard drive using cURL. 
 I cannot clearly tell from the REST API documentation how to do this or whether it is possible. "Create Media" seems the most likely but the following throws an unclear error: 
 
 curl -H "Rest-User-Token: abc123" -X POST -d "Name=TheDesiredFilename" -d "FileName=filename.zip" https://<company>.telligenthosting.net/api.ashx/v2/media/383/files.json 
 Error: {"Media":null,"Info":[],"Warnings":[],"Errors":["Only a posted file, file URL, or file upload c ontext is valid, but not more than one."]} 
 The documentation provides this example: 
 curl -H "Rest-User-Token: ENCODED_TOKEN" -d "Name=name" -X POST mysite.com/.../files.xml 
 
 Can anyone help me understand if this is possible and if so, how? 
 Thank you.

You will need to review developer training. https://community.telligent.com/community/9/w/developer-training/53237/uploading-files This same pattern applies to adding files to media galleries.
