Store password and settings in a json file for safety and convenience
You can create a json config file to store your password and other settings. Thanks to this you won't need to pass them as arguments. An example json file containing username, password and from parameter value settings:
{
"username": "my@login.com",
"password": "myS3cretP4ssword",
"from": "your@email.com"
} You can then use it with CLI passing it with --config-file option. For example:
filemail upload testFile.txt --config-file "c:\filemail-config.json"
All supported upload options (run filemail upload -h to learn more)
The application will exit with code 0 if transfer was successful, otherwise it failed and you might want to check parameters and retry.
