11,345 PointsFTP Uploads with NSURLSession
Hi All
I'm trying to implement FTP uploads (and downloads) with NSURLSession - I believe that it has the capabilities to do so. I was wondering if anyone could help provide any direction on how to achieve this?
Thanks! UniekLee

you might want to have a look at the CFNetwork Programming Guide - Working with FTP Servers section "Uploading a File" but it's not a fun thing to do...
...and for the Does NSURLSession support FTP upload? you don't want to go this way :)

"SimpleFTPSample shows how to do simple FTP operations using the NSURLConnection and CFFTPStream APIs ... it can upload a file, list a directory, and create a directory using CFFTPStream."

Thanks for the response! I was hoping that NSURLSession would provide something simpler that CFNetworking.
I've tried using a number of libraries based on CFNetworking to try and simplify things for me, but I'm getting malloc errors (pointer being freed was not allocated) with all of them. And Crashlytics is suggesting that that error is coming from somewhere within CFNetworking. It's a bit of a problem!
