Upload The File + +We're now ready to upload a file to the network. In this example we'll use node 1 for uploading and node 2 for downloading.

Codex is processing the file by cutting it into blocks and generating erasure-recovery data. When the process is finished, the request will return the content-identifier (CID) of the uploaded file. It should look something like `zdj7WVxH8HHHenKtid8Vkgv5Z5eSUbCxxr8xguTUBMCBD8F2S`. + +### 6. Download The File + +Replace `` with the identifier returned in the previous step. Replace `` with the filename where you want to store the downloaded file. + +```bash + curl 127.0.0.1:8081/api/codex/v1/download/zdj7Wfm18wewSWL9SPqddhJuu5ii1TJD39rtt3JbVYdKcqM1K --output + ``` + +Notice we are connecting to the second node in order to download the file. The CID we provide contains the information needed to locate the file within the network. + +### 7.
