uploadFile

Uploads a file to the Selenium Standalone server or other browser driver (e.g. Chromedriver) by using the file command. Note: that this command is only supported if you use a Selenium Hub or Chromedriver directly.

Note: this command uses an un-offical protocol feature that is currently only supported in Chrome and when running a Selenium Grid.
