I can use “-d” option to put files into a database. 

mongofiles  -d test put file.txt

It worked as expected.I also found out there was collection option. Whats this option for and How to use it? I can’t get more info from man page or its help.

EDIT :
From here http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/GridFS+Specification . I believe there will be two collection will be created named “files” and “chunk” which will contain metadata of file and its actually data. When I simply use -d option alone. I can see these collections under “test” db. So now ,when i use the option -c does that collection will stores what?

    According to http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/api/gridfs/index.html#gridfs.GridFS
    collection specifies the root collection to use.

    I believe that the expected behaviour is totally internal, i.e. the default collection where the files are stored is 'fs'. You can replace that to have a custom collection name.
