 # Publish a file with IPFS using the command line
 
-Similar to the [Publish a file with IPFS](./publish.md) quickstart, this guide will teach you about [pinning services](../concepts/persistence.md#pinning-in-context) and how to use them to publish content-addressed data with IPFS. However, instead of using the [Web3 UI used in the related guide](./publish.md#upload-and-pin-a-file) , you will upload the file to [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/) using the [w3 command line interface](https://github.com/web3-storage/w3cli) or [Spheron](https://spheron.network) using [spheron command line interface](https://docs.spheron.network/cli/). By the end of this guide, you should have a better understanding of how content addressing and CIDs work from a high level, as well as how to use the w3 command line interface to publish data to IPFS.

 The web3.storage pinning service was chosen purely for demonstration purposes, and is one of many [pinning services](../concepts/persistence.md#pinning-in-context) you can choose from. While each pinning services has different SDKs and APIs, their fundamental role is the same - to store files and make them available to the IPFS network. In fact, one of the main benefits of IPFS is that files can be pinned to multiple pinning services, thereby reducing vendor lock-in.

 - Check out [the lifecycle of data in IPFS](../concepts/lifecycle.md) to learn more about how publishing by pinning fits into the full lifecycle of data in IPFS.
 - Try fetching the pinned file by following the [retrieval quickstart](./retrieve.md).
 - If you prefer to upload a file programmatically with JavaScript or Go, check out the [Web3.storage docs](https://web3.storage/docs/how-tos/store/).

 - Alternatively, try out [Filebase](https://filebase.com/), a pinning service that offers an [AWS S3-compatible API for pinning](https://docs.filebase.com/getting-started/s3-api-getting-started-guide), so you can use any S3-compatible SDK, e.g. [aws-sdk](https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-sdk), and [many](https://github.com/s3tools/s3cmd) more.
