Upload a local file to an org.
Description for data create file
This command always creates a new file in the org; you can't update an existing file. After a successful upload, the command displays the ID of the new ContentDocument record which represents the uploaded file.
By default, the uploaded file isn't attached to a record; in the Salesforce UI the file shows up in the Files tab. You can optionally attach the file to an existing record, such as an account, as long as you know its record ID.
You can also give the file a new name after it's been uploaded; by default its name in the org is the same as the local file name.
