uploading phone photo to server

Post by Gazzafish » Tue Aug 12, 2014 4:22 am

Hi,

New to Livecode but I like what I see.. I am building an App where the user uses their Android (and hopefully IOS) phone to take a photo. The app is then required to upload this photo to my remote server. I have this working fine on my desktop using an emulator and ftp but I have since discovered ftp is not supported from a mobile device. What is the easiest way to transfer a photo from a mobile device to a server? It does not need to be secure.

I have looked into 'export' and 'URL' but not sure which would be better suited? Is there any sample code doing this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance..

Gaz
