Hello, I need to upload some files using command line but I don't know the moodle data path.
Can anyone tell me where it is located?
Moodle version: 3.8.2 (build 20200309) [Packaged in Yunohost]
Thank you
You can't. Moodle files don't work that way.
If you really need to script uploading files see https://moosh-online.com/ and the 'file-upload' command.

Path to moodledata is found in config.php file of moodle code.
Uploading from workstation to something that moodle could see involves setting up a file system repo. Do NOT attempt uploading to moodledata/filedir/.

Also, one does not need to upload via FTP ... better if using SCP.
+1 to Howard's suggestion about moosh.

I suppose it depends on exactly what the OP was trying to do. Didn't think about File system repo.
Agreed! OP will tell us hopefully!

Found the file directory and used the file system repository!
I was uploading a large size media file for my students to watch. It was too slow if I use the web interface. So I did an SCP from my NAS to the moodle instance.
Thank you for the hints!
