Thank you,

Late to the party, but THANK YOU for putting a dead simple minimalist version of an upload. The only other guides I saw had all this extra crap that caused errors, required multiple files, etc.

This file just works. You might need to change your download folder, but it's simple and solid.

If someone needs similar (i.e. very simple) but a way more advanced and useful solution, please be my guest: https://github.com/sensboston/uploader
