I’m looking for a public gateway for uploading small files from an application, but all public gateways return `Method POST not allowed: read only access` Is there any public writable gateway I can use? ---

Can’t speak for the other gateways, but the gateways running over at [ipfs.io](http://ipfs.io) are not yet writable but we’re planning to make them writable in the future. See this issue for tracking the work: [https://github.com/ipfs/infrastructure/issues/105](https://github.com/ipfs/infrastructure/issues/105) ---

So, seems that [https://www.eternum.io](https://www.eternum.io) (which [http://ipfessay.stavros.io](http://ipfessay.stavros.io) is using) is writable, maybe you could try using that one. ---

[INFURA](https://infura.io/)’s IPFS is writable too. ---

@shierve I have enabled public write access to my ipfs gateways as an experiment, I basically am hoping they dont get abused, but the moment I feel like its getting abused, I will probably shut them down. But these are my public writable gateways: [https://ipfs.works/](https://ipfs.works/) [https://ipfs.work/](https://ipfs.work/) [https://ipfs.macholibre.org/](https://ipfs.macholibre.org/) They all point to the same host for now, until I feel like there needs to be more capacity, then I will split them off into their separate hosts. You can see availability status here: [https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/](https://ipfs.github.io/public-gateway-checker/) ---

In case you need some info, see here: > [@How to POST via curl](https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/how-to-post-via-curl/1163): > > I am looking for the curl equivalent of ipfs add filename.ext -w for curl. I want to curl -v -X POST --binary-data @filename http://localhost:8080/, but it doesnt retain the filename. Anyone know how to do it? Doing a `PUT https://host/ipfs/QmxxxxDAGxxHERExxx/filename.ext` will retain the filename.
