curl: (26) couldn't open file​

Can’t find why! I am calling this api with a correct file name-

curl https://upload.view-api.box.com/1/documents 
-H "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN" 
-H "Content-type: multipart/form-data" 
-F file=@A_correct_file_name

JavaScript
 
curl https://upload.view-api.box.com/1/documents -H "Authorization: Token YOUR_API_TOKEN" -H "Content-type: multipart/form-data" -F file=@A_correct_file_name​

I have seen all the three already asked questions but 2 of them are unanswered and one is specific to facebook.

Answer

Sorry guys! My bad. I had not included extension of the file in the file name. After including it, it worked. I am answering this in case someone does the same mistake in future.
