# anaconda org upload

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
anaconda org upload <FILE> [files ...] [OPTIONS]
```

Comments

Replace \<FILE> with the path(s) to the distribution file(s) to upload.

## Description

Uploads packages to your Anaconda repository. The CLI auto-detects the package type from the file when `--package-type` is not specified.

When `-c/--channel` or `-n/--namespace` is provided, the upload targets an anaconda.com repository channel instead of anaconda.org. Using `--namespace` requires `--channel`. The `-c/--channel` and `-u/--user` flags cannot be used together.
