The following example shows how to create a public or private file to Oracle Public Cloud Storage by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL. Files are limited to a contentType set of text/csv or application/directory. For more information about cURL, see Use cURL. See Importing and Exporting Users, Groups, and AppRoles for request and response examples for bulk import and export.

The command in this example uses the URL structure https://tenant-base-url/resource-path, where tenant-base-url represents the Identity Service URL, and the resource path represents the Identity Service API. See Send Requests for the appropriate URL structure to use.
