Upload Files to a Web Server - Simplest Example

See more Upload Examples

This is the simplest example for uploading some files to a web server. the BlockingUpload call is synchronous and returns when the upload is finished (or failed).

A server-side C# example showing how to receive an upload is located at C# ASP.NET Code to Receive Upload

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local upload = chilkat.Upload.new()

-- Specify the page (ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, CGI, etc)
-- that will receive and process the HTTP Upload.
upload.hostname = "www.mywebserver.com"
upload.path = "/receiveUpload.aspx"

-- Add one or more files to be uploaded.
upload:add_file_reference("file1", "dude.gif")
upload:add_file_reference("file2", "swordfish.xml")
upload:add_file_reference("file3", "sample.doc")

-- Do the upload.  The method returns when the upload
-- is completed.
-- This component also includes asynchronous upload capability,
-- which is demonstrated in another example.
local success = upload:blocking_upload()
if not success then
    print(upload.last_error_text)
else
    print("Files uploaded!")
end
