Submit XML - FTP Server wants username and password

[Former Community Member]

I am new to Livecycle and very excited about the product.



I would like the Acrobat 8 users of my PDF form (that was created in Livecycle 8.2) to submit their XML data to my ftp server when they hit my submit button.



I have create a submit button and entered into the object URL:ftp://xxx.com/home/wildedge/public_html/docs/

Submit as: XML Data (XML)

Data Encoding: UTF-8



My ftp server wants a username and password to be entered before it will allow a file transfer. How do I submit my username and password with this submit button?

I found this in the archives, but I don't know what to do with it.

Would the following script work to upload the file?



private static void Upload(string ftpServer, string userName, string password,

string filename)

{

using (System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient())

{

client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, password);

client.UploadFile(ftpServer + "/" + new FileInfo(filename).Name,

"STOR", filename);

}

}



Upload("ftp://ftpserver.com", "TheUserName", "ThePassword", @"C:\file.txt");

You don't submit to an FTP server. You submit to a web script (ASP,

CGI, PHP, that sort of thing) running on an http server. Submitting is

a process of handing the form fields to a program on another computer,

it isn't a quick and handy way to upload.

Thanks Aandi.



Can anyone post a sample PHP/MySQL script that successfully accepts an XML document from a HTTP Submit statement embeded in an Acrobat PDF (Created with LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2)?

Here is the PHP Script I ended up using on this project to make it all work, I called XMLupload.php. Just in case someone has the same questions I had.
<br />
<br /><?<br /?>
require_once("configuration.php");
<br /> $conf=new JConfig();
<br /> $con=mysql_connect($conf-&gt;host,$conf-&gt;user,$conf-&gt;password);
<br /> mysql_select_db('wilder_joomla',$con);

<br /> define('ADMIN_ROOT_DIR',dirname(__FILE__));

<br /> $pdf_uploaddir = ADMIN_ROOT_DIR."/administrator/pdf/";
<br />

<br /> {
<br /> $hash =date('YmdHis',time()+8*3600)."_";
<br /> $chars = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
<br /> $max = strlen($chars) - 1;
<br /> mt_srand((double)microtime() * 1000000);
<br /> for($i = 0; $i &lt; $length; $i++)
<br /> {
<br /> $hash .= $chars[mt_rand(0, $max)];
<br /> }
<br /> return $hash;
<br /> }
<br /> function get24hTime($time){
<br /> if(strpos($time, "am")){
<br /> $time = trim(str_replace("am","",$time));
<br /> $temp = split(":",$time);
<br /> return substr("0".$temp[0],strlen($temp[0])-1).":".$temp[1];
<br /> }else if(strpos($time, "pm")){
<br /> $time = trim(str_replace("pm","",$time));
<br /> if(substr($time,0,2)=="12") return $time;
<br /> return strval(intval(substr($time,0,strpos($time,':')))+12).substr($time,strpos($time,':'));
<br /> }
<br /> }
<br />
<br /> $file_path = $xml_uploaddir.random(10).".xml";
<br /> $temp = split("/",$file_path);
<br /> $xml_path = $temp[count($temp)-2]."/".$temp[count($temp)-1];

You can try the following syntax to put user credential and ftp URL together



ftp://guest-user:MyPassword@myFTP.com/myFolder





Where



Host: myFTP.com

Username: guest-user

Password: MyPassword

Directory: myFolder
