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

C

#include <C_CkUpload.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;
    HCkUpload upload;

    success = FALSE;

    upload = CkUpload_Create();

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

    // Add one or more files to be uploaded.
    CkUpload_AddFileReference(upload,"file1","dude.gif");
    CkUpload_AddFileReference(upload,"file2","swordfish.xml");
    CkUpload_AddFileReference(upload,"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.
    success = CkUpload_BlockingUpload(upload);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkUpload_lastErrorText(upload));
    }
    else {
        printf("Files uploaded!\n");
    }



    CkUpload_Dispose(upload);

    }
