4.Update creds.cfg
# Values for default channel, default member, default uploader must be mentioned in creds.cfg.
# Token for default member and default uploader must be mentioned in creds.cfg.

5.Sample Usage:
1.
./slack-file-uploader.py --channel general --uploader someuser --member anotheruser hello.txt
# slack user @someuser uploads file hello.txt to channel #general.
# if @someuser is not a member of the channel #general, member @anotheruser will invite someuser to the channel.(because only channel members can upload file to a channel)
# member @anotheruser must be a member of the channel #general. But if uploader(@someuser) is already a member of the channel, member(@anotheruser) need not be a member of the channel.
# tokens for uploader(@someuser) and member(@anotheruser) must be stored in creds.cfg similar to default uploader and default member.
# you can get token from here https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens

Note:
# if uploader option is not provided default uploader will be chosen.
# if channel option is not provided default channel will be chosen.
# if member option is not provided default member will be chosen. in this case default member must be member of the channel already.
# channel can be private or public.
