title: Access or send a local file to Heroku
body: <p>I've got a local .csv file with updated user data that I want to run a simple one-time script on in production (on Heroku, Rails 4 app).  It's open source, so I can't just include the file in the repo without exposing the data.  I'd like to be able to do it from the CLI but can't seem to figure it out.  </p>
  
  <p>There's probably a better solution, but I've been trying unsuccessfully to set the contents of the file (which isn't huge) to an environment variable on Heroku.  My Bash skills are weak...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ heroku config:set MY_CSV=&lt;./my_local_csv_path.csv
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>didn't work -- it will not set anything. (running <code>$ heroku config</code> shows the env variable blank -- <code>MY_CSV:</code>).</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way to make this .csv file accessible to a script on Heroku?  I suspect it's a similar problem to just accessing the local filesystem from the Heroku console.</p>
