Uploading to server

Hi! Does anybody know how to upload a textfile to a server from the iPhone? Maybe FTP?

Thanks,

You would want to look at ASIHTTPRequest and POST probably via PHP.

Yah I looked into ASI, but can I do FTP instead of PHP?

I think that you could do that, but it would definitely be easier to look into a PHP script and ASI. All you would need to do is find a script which would put the uploaded data (text file) into a folder on your server. And then from there you would just need to create a ASIHTTPRequest with the text file to your PHP file on your server.

Hey iSDK,

Thanks so much!

Could you give me an example with complete source?

Thanks,

I am no PHP dev! I will have a quick look on around for you. There are loads that allow images to be uploaded, so I presume that you could just play around with the file types to allow .txt files to be uploaded.

edit----

This is perfect: http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/...ile_upload.htm

It allows all files to be uploaded apart from .php files.

This is perfect: PHP File Upload - PHP Upload Script - Upload file script

If only someone were to put videos on YouTube to do this. Could this be done with SQLite3?
