URL: http://<db.host>:<db.port>/upload/files/fromurl
Uploads one or more files to KiFS.
Each file path must reside in a top-level KiFS directory, i.e. one of the directories listed in /show/directories. The user must have write permission on the directory. Nested directories are permitted in file name paths. Directories are deliniated with the directory separator of '/'. For example, given the file path '/a/b/c/d.txt', 'a' must be a KiFS directory.
These characters are allowed in file name paths: letters, numbers, spaces, the path delimiter of '/', and the characters: '.' '-' ':' '[' ']' '(' ')' '#' '='.
