FTP an image from iOS

[hoburne]

Hi all,

I have looked through the forums and dictionary and thought I had what I was looking for, however, I still need some pointers or clarification.

I am writing an iOS app (which is driving me crazy!!) which simply takes a picture with the camera, displays to the screen then at the press of a button FTP uploads the image to our FTP storage online. Really simple on paper but I am getting stuck at the FTP part. Could you point me in the direction of an example or a paper I could read about this?

I can't see the wood for the trees on this one! Maybe all I need is sleep and a clear head tomorrow but any advice or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Dear hoburne,

Thank you for your request.

The following script should be able to help you out with both taking a picture and then uploading it to a specified FTP-

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
--this just makes sure the pic is of a reasonable size to work with
   set the width of the templateImage to 250 
   set the height of the templateImage to 250
   set the lockLoc of the templateImage to true
--take the picture
   mobilepickphoto "camera"
--upload to FTP
   put the last image into url ("ftp://username:password@host/newimage.jpg")
--Informs of successful or unsuccessful upload
   if the result is not empty then
      answer "url put failed:" && the result
   else
      answer "success!"
   end if
end mouseUp

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger

Morning!

So a good night's sleep and I have a clear head and thanks to Neil, a working app. Thanks Neil.

Interestingly, I used the "the last image" part of your put command in place of the image name I had assigned and it now works.

Thanks again.

Hi everybody,

I am trying to use Neil's script above in order to upload an image from my ios device to a server via ftp.

I tested the script on ios 6.1.3 and ios 7.0.4 on real devices and i get the following error

url put failed: The operation couldn't be complete. (kCFErrorDomainCFNework error 200.)

Does anyone has any idea how to solve it?

Thanking you in advance.
