I would like to implement logic that uploads file to FTP Server.
I am new in iPhone development, so want to figure out preferred approach. After browsing available API for this task I have managed to find only code that uses CFNetwork (that looks like not Objective C based).
There is also URL Loading System that uses NSURL etc which are Objective C based.
So, my question: Is it possible to use URL Loading System to implement file upload to FTP Server?
Thanks.
I use a PHP Page to post a file to and have PHP handle the uploading....
This code is used to upload a photo, but it can be adapted to work with any file.
PHP Code:
iPhone Code:
- (BOOL)uploadImage:(NSData *)imageData filename:(NSString *)filename{ NSString *urlString = @"http://www.yourdomainName.com/yourPHPPage.php"; NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease]; [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"]; NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",boundary]; [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"]; NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"%@\"\r\n",filename]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [request setHTTPBody:body]; NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil]; NSString *returnString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease]; return ([returnString isEqualToString:@"OK"]); } Method Call:
[self uploadImage:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView.image, 1.0) filename:imageName];
