Frameworks (ConnectionKit)
Hi, I'd like to be able to use my mac app to upload an image to a server. From googling it seems the best way to achieve this is using the ConnectionKit framework to upload it via FTP. I've downloaded the framework, but Im at a loss, the examples included don't build, and looking at the hillegass book there should be a .framework file for me to link to but I can't find one. I also can't find any documentation about how to use this. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Either for using ConnectionKit or how else to simply ftp a file to a server?

Re: Frameworks (ConnectionKit)
My point is that you're not constrained to it. ConnectionKit is almost certainly overkill for this. If you're determined to use FTP, check out CFWriteStreamCreateWithFTPURL(). In general, I'd advise a WebDAV-like system fed by NSURLConnection is best. On 9 Aug 2011, at 14:15, Amy Gibbs wrote: It seemed the easiest way of uploading a file to the server?

Re: Frameworks (ConnectionKit)
I'm certainly noy tied to FTP, and I'll have a go with NSURLConnection. I did try to use that for another part but I just couldn't get it to work. Is there a particular sample/tutorial you could recommend? In the following code, accessing the URL in a webView works, but the NSURLConnection doesn't; [code] NSURL *uploadURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:escapedUrl]; NSMutableURLRequest* post = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL: uploadURL]; //NSURLConnection *connect = [NSURLConnection initWithRequest:post delegate:self startImmediately:@YES]; NSLog (@uploadurl is: %@, uploadURL); [[uploadWeb mainFrame] loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:uploadURL]]; [/code] On 9 Aug 2011, at 2:32PM, Mike Abdullah wrote: My point is that you're not constrained to it.

Re: Frameworks (ConnectionKit)
The startImmediately parameter is a BOOL, not a string. Use YES instead of @YES and see if that helps. Tom W.

You also need to provide the data you want to upload, by setting the HTTPBody property. //NSURLConnection *connect = [NSURLConnection initWithRequest:post delegate:self startImmediately:@YES”]; As Thomas said, the last parameter is a boolean. The compiler gave you an error message about the type being wrong for that parameter (and depending on which compiler, told you that it expected a boolean. That should have been a clue not to put an NSString there. Also, this is going to send the request asynchronously. That means you’ll need to set a delegate, and implement the necessary delegate methods, otherwise you won’t get any information on the progress of the operation. Have you read the Apple overview docs on using NSURLConnection? They describe all this in detail including plenty of examples. —Jens smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

In addition to what others have mentioned, it is worth pointing out that FTP is a notoriously insecure protocol (or at least lends itself to security vulnerabilities). It doesn't support encryption out of the box, so you would have to deal with the added headache (larger or smaller, depending on implementation) of tunneling through an encrypted pipe or using a later variant of FTP that supports encryption but then requires support by both client and server. Like most vendors I've seen, Apple implicitly discourages the use of FTP. Quoting page 201 of the Snow Leopard Security Configuration guide: Avoid using this protocol to share sensitive data. If you must use this protocol, encrypt your data using a secure encrypted image. - -- Conrad Shultz Synthetiq Solutions www.synthetiqsolutions.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFOQWbHaOlrz5+0JdURAn4RAJ9oHZVCLmqwcv7nNShZggzNGtVDFQCfVF/e Rny+npzOo8j55OPj6Ql1Q3E= =UbbC -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: Frameworks (ConnectionKit)
You can use libcurl: http://curl.haxx.se/ Extremely powerful library, which is a part of Mac OS X, that supports most protocols (FTP, SFTP, HTTP etc.) I find it very easy to use - but I've been using it for years in either its command line (curl) or library implementation. There's also excellent Open Source polkit: http://code.google.com/p/polkit/ which is partially based on libcurl and Mac OS X frameworks and supports even more protocols, such as Amazon S3, AFP and SMB. I remember trying the ConnectionKit, and whatever I tried it just didn't work. Leo On 8/9/11 7:04:08 AM, Amy Heavey wrote: Hi, I'd like to be able to use my mac app to upload an image to a server.
