(Ruby) Upload Files to a Web Server - Simplest Example

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

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

upload = Chilkat::CkUpload.new()

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

# Add one or more files to be uploaded.
upload.AddFileReference("file1","dude.gif")
upload.AddFileReference("file2","swordfish.xml")
upload.AddFileReference("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 = upload.BlockingUpload()
if (success != true)
    print upload.lastErrorText() + "\n";
else
    print "Files uploaded!" + "\n";
end
