title: mongoimport : 'error validating settings: only one positional argument is allowed'
body: <p>Ok so I am trying.... to Importing a dummy JSON file into MongoDB and getting this error, a Google search yields no definitive explanation, and though this topic is <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30953611/mongodb-error-validating-settings-only-one-positional-argument-is-allowed">already on here</a>, that's more a syntax related error.</p>
  
  <p>I think my syntax is ok, however if it is not please point it out and let me know. Also I think the other issue is my path [format correct] ? or is it something entirely different I am missing. </p>
  
  <p>I don't understand the error and thus can't find a suitable "plain English" explanation anywhere to figure it out myself, so if you have a link please drop it in for me, it will be appreciated.... </p>
  
  <p><em>The error:</em></p>
  
  <pre><code>$ mongoimport --jsonArray --collection bank_data /Macintosh HD/Users/Tinus/Downloads/bank_data.json/bank_data.json
  2016-09-20T13:23:56.592+1200    error validating settings: only one positional argument is allowed
  </code></pre>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>-: Running OSX 
  -: Mongod started
  -: Using /data/db path and connected to test "All good"
  -: running mongoimport from separate shell</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <pre><code>$ mongo --version MongoDB shell version: 3.2.8
  
  $ mongoimport --jsonArray --collection some_data --file /path/path/data.json
  $ mongoimport --jsonArray --collection some_data /path/path/data.json
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>A) Also when adding --file i get: incompatible options: --file and positional argument(s)</p>
