Upload file using rest API : WebDav

[rashmimaharana]

Hi @drakkan and Team,

Do you have any example docs to use rest API to upload/download files. I have enabled WebDav port and can fetch user details, but not sure how to upload.
Again thanks for addressing all my concerns. :)

FYI :
I am doing some changes to capture email id from end user and displayed the same in client page, will raise a PR for the same.

Thanks,
Rashmi Maharana

REST API and webdav are different things. To use WebDAV you need a client implementing the protocol, for example Nautilus, windows explorer etc..

You can test REST API with any openapi tool. I generally use swaggerui. Please note that this is a test tool, REST API should be used within an external integration.

Regarding your changes they look interesting but we actually don't have an email field for users, I plan to add it in future versions (it is useful for password recovery), we likely need a database migration.

Hi @drakkan

I tried to use one of the users API to upload files, but getting the message : " No files uploaded! " every time. Am i missing anything here.
Tried with postman and from shell using curl.

Steps :
1> Get user token first.
API : http://10.125.XX.XXX:8080/api/v2/user/token
Method type : GET
Authorization : Username : test , password : ***
Full curl command taken from postman :
curl --location --request GET 'http://10.125.XX.XXX:8080/api/v2/user/token'
--header 'Authorization: Basic QVhkW.....'
Response :
{
"access_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1N.......",
"expires_at": "2021-09-29T12:46:07Z"
}

2> Used the above token to upload file.
API : http://10.125.XX.XXX:8080/api/v2/user/files
Method type : POST

Full curl command taken from postman :
curl --location --request POST 'http://10.125.XX.XXX:8080/api/v2/user/files'
--header 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1N.......'
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data'
--form 'test3.txt=@"/root/test.txt"'

Response :
{
"message": "No files uploaded!"
}

Please check the docs here. It must be --form filename=... not --form 'test3.txt=@"/root/test.txt"'
