Functions

upload_file

A function that uploads a specific file to sharepoint.

default_path = < SHAREPOINT_BASE_PATH >
src = < LOCAL_FILE_PATH >
dst = default_path + < SHAREPOINT_TARGET_PATH >

upload_file(src, dst)

SHAREPOINT_BASE_PATH refers to the default path for a sharepoint document entry.
( format ) /sites/<SHAREPOINT_SITE>/Shared Documents
( ex ) /sites/testsite/Shared Documents

LOCAL_FILE_PATH means the path to the file to be uploaded.
( ex ) /home/ubuntu/test.txt

SHAREPOINT_TARGET_PATH means the actual path to be uploaded to sharepoint.
Think of the document menu in sharepoint as the root directory and enter the path thereafter.
You do not need to include the file name.
( ex ) excel/example

If you run it as above, it will be uploaded as below.
/sites/testsite/Shared Documents/excel/example/test.txt
