I have the bellow code which I have seen in other threads here, but nowhere does it actually show how to save a MultipartFileData file to disk once you have it.
Here is the sample for saving file in server. Hope this will help you.
public class TestController : ApiController
{
const string StoragePath = @"T:\WebApiTest";
public async Task<HttpResponseMessage> Post()
{
if (Request.Content.IsMimeMultipartContent())
{
var streamProvider = new MultipartFormDataStreamProvider(Path.Combine(StoragePath, "Upload"));
await Request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(streamProvider);
foreach (MultipartFileData fileData in streamProvider.FileData)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(fileData.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName))
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotAcceptable, "This request is not properly formatted");
}
string fileName = fileData.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName;
if (fileName.StartsWith("\"") && fileName.EndsWith("\""))
{
fileName = fileName.Trim('"');
}
if (fileName.Contains(@"/") || fileName.Contains(@"\"))
{
fileName = Path.GetFileName(fileName);
}
File.Move(fileData.LocalFileName, Path.Combine(StoragePath, fileName));
}
}
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
else
{
return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotAcceptable, "This request is not properly formatted");
}
}
