How can I browse a file from client then upload to server by using AL?

wolfskin

Hi everyone,

In C/AL, I used CopyServerFile function in Codeunit "File Management" but it's not work in A/L.
an error occurs like this Error:The type or method 'CopyServerFile' cannot be used for 'Extension' development.
So, there is another way to browse a file from client then upload it to server?


Thanks,

Use streaming functions and see if it works

I have been trying to use UPLOADINTOSTREAM function. It's work but I don't know where the file is located.

Can anyone guild me how do I get the uploaded file?

When you uploadintostream the data is in your stream, not in a file.
you need to work with your stream instead

You can also set your target in app.json to internal and use CopyServerFile from codeunit 419.

Thank you for your reply. Now I use DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM function to locate the file from stream.

Thank you very much,
