I would like to access the list of all uploads that have been added to a given project on my company GitLab server.
I don't mean versionned files, I mean attached files: binaries and other types of files that have been attached to issues, merge requests, etc.
It's OK if I have to use the API for that.
What I've tried
My first approach was through GET /projects/:id/repository/files/:file_path, but that's for the versionned files.
Then, I found out about POST /projects/:id/uploads, but that's only for uploading and not for listing already uploaded files.
Is there a way to list all those uploaded files?
I believe this is not possible.
There is an open issue for retrieving specific files which has not received much attention:
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/55520
Hopefully, in the future, there will eventually be an endpoint
GET /projects/:id/uploads
I had the same question and after getting in touch with gitlab support they confirmed that this is not currently implemented (as of now, November 2021), and forwarded me the 3 following feature requests :
API list all files on a project : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/197361
Attachment Manager : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/16229
Retrieve uploaded files using API : https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/25838
A workaround seems to be to export the whole project, and you'll find the uploads in that archive, and you'll be able to list them.

I'm doing some work for a client who has an existing shopify website. They want to make some big changes to the site, so i have set up a new development site in shopify, exported all of the products/pages/blog posts to it and am now working on getting all the new functionality/design working on the dev site.
Once the new build is finished though, i want to transfer everything back over to their current site. Products/pages/blog posts will be fine (ive written a custom export/import thing using their api), but what about images?
I am uploading lots of images to the dev site and i am worried they will be deleted when development is finished and i shut down the dev site. Is it possible to transfer over images from one site to another?
Ideally, keeping the same urls on shopifys cdn when doing so, although if i have to change the urls, then i can probably do an automated replace on the csv files that will get uploaded.
There are going to be hundreds of images involved, and they will be used in various places throughout the site, including in the rich text area of pages/blogs, so it's not going to be practical to do manually in any way, must be something I can automate.
Thanks for any help.
When you export products as a CSV, you get links to your images. You could write a script to download each of the images in the CSV. Just redirect the output of curl to save the image.
curl link_url > imagename
Have you tried transferring between the two sites using FTP? If you have SSH Access
login to the server via SSH
change to the right directory to file location or desired location
FTP into the other server using ftp <name_or_IP_address_of_other_server> and your login details
use cd to locate your location / desired destination
use the binary command
hash if you want a progress bar
if sending the file from the server you SSHed into issue the put <filename> command, and if you want to pull the file from the other server to the one you are logged into use get <filename> instead.
Wait a while for the transfer to complete - might take a while
Could anybody explain to me the process of uploading to and downloading form and ftp server with the iPhone SDK. If you could just point me in the right direction (e.g. documentation etc.). How difficult is a task like this?
Thanks in advance.
You can use this. It support all the basic ftp operations:
Download file
Upload file
Delete file
Delete directory
Create directory
List directory contents
[DISCLAIMER] I am the developer of the library, I needed a ftp library too in the past and came over this answer. However, I decided to write one myself because s7ftprequest didn't support at that point several operations that I needed.(like download or list directory)

The Apple documentation will provide far more info in general than I could. Have a look at:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Networking/Conceptual/CFNetwork/CFFTPTasks/CFFTPTasks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001132-CH9-SW1
which details the FTP information you need. If you prefer a PDF with all the networking info in it, have a look at:
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Networking/Conceptual/CFNetwork/CFNetwork.pdf
In this, you'll be particularly interested in Chapter 5. Both detail working with FTP sites, including uploading, downloading, retrieving directory listings, etc.
s7ftprequest only for uploading files to FTP.
The below is sample code from apple

Limitations:
FTPS (that is, FTP over TLS)
deleting items
renaming items
other less common FTP commands
custom FTP commands
I ended up using GoldRacoon. It turns out that in iOS/objc land, there's BlackRaccoon as the original FTP client lib, then WhiteRaccoon was forked from that, and then GoldRacoon was forked from WhiteRaccoon (I think)
pod search GoldRaccoon
... will show you.
I ended up making a few changes (in my own fork) so that you can pass in a successBlock & failBlock into any request, so that block-y callers (like my classes) don't have extra work to manage the delegate callbacks. Github link (my fork): https://github.com/xaphod/GoldRaccoon
I tryed to use Mediafire API, but when I use Folder, get_info, it doesn't return file & folder array like the example.
Full url I used: http://www.mediafire.com/api/folder/get_info.php?folder_key=l461cm2d8hfxd
What's wrong with my attempt? Thank you.
You can try the MediaFire API PHP Library. This class currently implements all the functions in the Mediafire API.
Ok I just took a look at their API documentation. They've updated the get_info function for the folders. They've taken out the file tree....
So if you are uploading via the dropbox (which doesn't return the quickkey associated with the file), you CAN NEVER dropbox upload and then use the api to find the file and download it. This renders their API as useless as tits on a boar hog.
The point of a dropbox is to allow remote uploads to a folder, you then know the folder key so you can query the API and return the document quickkeys that are in the folder which then allows you to manage those files remotely, move, delete, download etc. Now you cannot do this FAIL FAIL FAIL.
Despite the Functionality of get_info not working, folder search can resolve at least some issues with retrieving quick keys. In my case i searched for ".mp3" and was handed all the mp3s in my folder
I am using Dropbox Api to display the list of files and folders present on it.. User can download file and view it..
I am downloading file every time .. but now i want to download file only if it is modified..
I can get date when file was updated in its metadata LastModifiedDate..
I have displayed all files in tableview and at the time of display all files i am getting metadata of all files in following function i have mentioned. And if after displaying all list any file get change I will not get latest file..I am getting the latest LastModifiedDate after file gets download..
Following method gets called when file download is complete:
- restClient:loadedMetadata:
Is there any way by which i can get it before it starts downloading? Is there any method of dropbox api which gives metadata of file before download?
If anybody wants further explanation then please let me know..
Thanks :)
Caching policies should be your friends, as far as the server is configured to support ETag.

How do I get a status report of all files currently being uploaded via HTTP form based file upload on an Apache Server?
I don't believe you can do this with Apache itself. The upload looks like nothing more than a POST as far as Apache cares. There are modules and other servers that do special processing to uploads so you may have some luck there. It would probably be easier to keep track of it in your application.
Check out SWFUpload, its uses Flash (in a nice way) to assist with managing multiple uploads.
There are events you can monitor for how many files of a set have been uploaded.
