Uploading files to an ownCloud server programmatically

Question

I am trying to set a web application where many clients can connect through a Node.js http server and then upload/download files that will then be shown in different display

Answer 1

You have to communicate with the WebDav interface at http://yourowncloudserver.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/

To upload a file you have to make a PUT request to the destiny of the file for example: http://yourowncloudserver.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/file.zip

And add the input stream to the request to read the file.

Here is the CURL command:

curl -X PUT -u username:password "http://yourserver.com/owncloud/remote.php/webdav/file.zip" -F myfile=@"/Users/Javi/Downloads/file.zip"

You also can check our code on Objective C to check the parameters that we use: ownCloud iOS Library

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [self requestWithMethod:@"PUT" path:remoteDestination parameters:nil];
[request setTimeoutInterval:k_timeout_upload];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lld", [UtilsFramework getSizeInBytesByPath:localSource]] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData];
[request setHTTPShouldHandleCookies:NO];
//[request setHTTPBody:[NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:localSource]];

__weak __block OCHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [self mr_operationWithRequest:request success:success failure:failure];

[operation setInputStream:[NSInputStream inputStreamWithFileAtPath:localSource]];
