[wp-hackers] Sending a file to a plugin via XMLRPC?

[Alex Rayan]

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
