C# .exe upload of multiple files to PHP server - filename param?

Question

What is the best way for a C# .exe program, to upload to a php server script that accepts file uploads.

If using .NET WebClient is the only way, is there a way for WebClient to specify the parameter name, rather than just the file?

For example, the C# .exe would do basically what a simple html form would do in this case.

<input name="filename" type="file" />

How do you specify this name parameter using WebClient?

Answer 1

You could try UploadFileEx from CodeProject.

Answer 2

You can acheive this with the HttpWebRequest class. It's a bit tricky since you will most likely need to upload the file using MIME multipart formatting. However, this post explains this process much better than I can: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/566462/upload-files-with-httpwebrequest-multipart-form-data

Good luck to you :)
