Android Question send files to vps or host

[Douglas Farias]

hi i have a simple question

i m making a app social, same facebook
i need a ideia.

i need to make for all users can send your photos to my vps
and i need to save this photos in a folder

exemple
user erer = folder erel with erel photos

user douglas = folder douglas with douglas photos

its possible?
what the best way to make this?

 

[Erel]

There are several ways to implement such a solution. Are you asking about the server or the client?

The client should either use Http (HttpUtils2) or FTP.

 

[Douglas Farias]

i need to make 2
client for all user app
and server to receiv all user photos

i tested your exemple in my vps
http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4aserver-files.9679/

this works fine send and receive files

but i need to make for the user for exemple send hes photo and save it on hes folder

user erel

create a folder erel and send photos only to erel folder

user douglas send only to douglas folder etc *-*

 

[Erel]

You shouldn't use B4AServer for that. You can use B4J and implement the server side:
[Server] Upload files from your B4A app to your B4J server over the internet

 

[DonManfred]

You also can use php for the server-side which gets the file and stores it in HDD... It also can create the folder if needed...
PS: See my Signature for an example (without creating the folder)

hmm
and how to know a exacty folder

exemple you is my app user
you want upload a photo , you take a photo in my app and click in send
your facebookid is = 10101010

when you click in send

function = go to my vps, create a folder 10101010 and save the photo 1.jpg

later i go need call this
go to my vps take a 1.jpg from 10101010 folder


all users go need a folder

the best way is with php?

and it is safe? for exemple other user can acess the all folders?

 

[DonManfred]

It does not matter in which language you want to write it... It can be php, it can be b4j. Use the language you prefer.

Due to security; it does´nt matter which language you use. You have to deal with the security-issues... It´s up to you to make your webserver save

 

[Spinter]

I created this library see if you can 'be useful!

[Douglas Farias]

but is possible to change the save directory?
$file_path = "uploads/";

$file_path = "uploads/idoffacebook";

exemple
user Douglas id= 10101010

$file_path = "uploads/10101010";

?

 

[DonManfred]

when the php-script knows this id then it can create the right folder, yes

 

[Douglas Farias]

i know send a id but i dont know receiv this on the php *-* to make a folder

 

[DonManfred]

i know send a id but i dont know receiv this on the php

See the php in the thread in my signature. Better would be to learn php and read the documentation.

if (isset($_REQUEST['id'])){$id=intval($_REQUEST['id']);} else {$id=0;}

to make a folder

mkdir

 

[Douglas Farias]

thanks man, I'm not a programmer, I'll get to the end to make it * - *
thanks for the tips I will buy a cloud vps tomorrow to start testing.

I will install xampp and apache to do this part.
need to give some permição php.ini for these functions?

another questions

1° your link to upload file in your example is http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php correct?
when i have my vps can i use http://192.111.111.11/b4a/multipartpost.php for example?

2° in the app for set the user id i go make this

http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php & id ?
for exemple my id is : 101010

http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php101010 ? or i need set other parameters?
http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php?101010
http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php?id=101010
http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php?id= & id

what the correct link can i send to my vps to in vps receive this in php?

 

[DonManfred]

with an working xampp these commands should not make problems. They should be useable.

with my above code

if (isset($_REQUEST['id'])){$id=intval($_REQUEST['id']);} else {$id=0;}

it should be
"http://www.vdfb.de/b4a/multipartpost.php?id="&id

or look at my app-example (see signature)... there is a map with values used to post to the php...

 

[Douglas Farias]

thx man tomorow i go try this

 

[Douglas Farias]

DonManfred your exemple works fine
i get the id sended by app and make a folder in php with mkdir($id)
ok perfect

now my other question

how i make to get this photo for exemple

i open the app

if user already registered
get photo from http://myvps/IDUSERFOLDER/1.png


how comand can i use to get photos and call this to image view

go to http:/myvps/userid/1.png

download this and put in imageview *-* ?

 

[lemonisdead]

Simply provide or check the URL which will be shown in a webview ?

 

[Douglas Farias]

yes but i need save this because in the folder go have 5+ images

/1.png 2.png etc *-*

 

[lemonisdead]

Ok. So you have basically three choices : or to store the image's name in a file or database or to rename the chosen image as avatar.PNG. You'll have to decide
