Sending a file to a plugin via XMLRPC?

[David Anderson]

Hi,

Has anyone ever written code to send a file, in chunks, from one WP
install to another, using XMLRPC? That's a task I've got to work on soon
- but I don't want to re-invent the wheel.

My plugin code will be installed at both ends.

The files are potentially very large. Basically, the sending end needs
to be able to:
a) See how much of the file is already uploaded ("oy, how much of this
file have you already got?")
b) Send the next chunk, in a loop ("here's a chunk - thanks - here's a
chunk - thanks ...")

Many thanks,
David

If you host this file somewhere you can just send link to the plugin
and using curl to download the remote file from the plugin.

Don't use curl directly. Use wp_remote_get.

Hi David,

I've used the following code to upload a file to a remote WP via XML RPC:

$data = array(
'name' => basename($fn),
'type' => 'video/mp4',
'bits' => new IXR_Base64($x),
'overwrite' => false,
);
if (!$client->query('wp.uploadFile','', 'username','password',$data)) {
die('An error occurred -
'.$client->getErrorCode().":".$client->getErrorMessage());
}
$response = $client->getResponse();
$video = $response['url'];

Might not be useful to you though if the files are too large.
Thought I'd share anyway.

For large files I used cURL.

Best regards,
Alex
