I know this question has been asked a lot of times already but unfortunately none of the answers have helped me. I want to upload an image file to my remote Web server (Apache). In my Excel cell, I have the file path of an image and want to use VBA to upload that file to a remote server.
I can't use any 3rd party tool in conjunction (like WinSCP), because that will make my product not very "portable-friendly". I was fine with Windows FTP, but it doesn't seems to be supporting passive mode and hence I also can't use that.
There are some threads which used IE to upload the file, and some which I believe are uploading via POST request by reading file in binary mode.
I want to replicate something similar to uploading files via HTTP POST on a website.

I am quite new into the world of remote connections so I don't really know what is possible and what is not.
I have established connection to a remote pc over ssh. I need a large file from this remote to be uploaded to a file-sender internet page. One way is to simply copy the file from remote to my local and subsequently upload from local but I want to speed up this task. I am wondering if there is a (safe) way to 'browse' through files or select files located on remote when selecting files in the upload website?
For illustration, think of selecting an image for Google's search by image and this image is located on my remote computer. After hitting the 'select a file' button, want to be able to pick a file from my remote computer to have it uploaded via this button. My question is not how to upload a file to a remote server.
The remote computer does not have any browser or so installed, it is just a collection of file directories and media disk connections that I can access. (I don't have all the details but this is all I know) That's why using the upload website through an internet browser, for example with a GUI as Ubuntu's Genome, is not an option.
Also, the upload internet page is not a specific url to upload to, so a solution like wget does not work either.
I have tried googling with the question in my title but this leads to me to solutions like Chrome's Secure Shell. I don't completely understand what I can do with it but it feels like that does not allow me to do what I want.
fyi, I work on Windows (using Ubuntu occasionally)
I have found the answer on: http://makerlab.cs.hku.hk/index.php/en/mapping-network-drive-over-ssh-in-windows .
Need to install WinSfp and SSHFS-Win. Then in windows file browser, mount a new network drive with Folder: \sshfs\username#domain . I can now browse the files through the windows file browser and thus can select files for upload
Can you guys suggest any method for my below problem?
I am developing an application which requires users to download an excel file, modify some content and upload exactly the same file they just download.
The requirement started from the fact that there is macro inside the excel file (which can be changed often), hence I try to make sure they always download and do works with the latest version. Then have to upload that file again.
My system is a web-based application for your reference.
I have set up a webdav folder that I can access thorugh chrome and edit files and save them back to the server, for example, I can open a word doc, edit it and save it back.
When I come to open a pdf, it wont save back to the server and downloads a copy of the pdf instead of the original.
Is there a way of enabling this to edit a pdf?
My end goal is to be able to open a pdf, add comments/highlights and save it back to the server, through my browser.
Thank you
Edit:
I have set this up through Apache 2.4, no plug ins through chrome, I have mapped a network drive to the server folder where I can open and edit files. Except PDFs, I would like to add comments to a off but when I open one the option is greyed out and when I try and save it after opening it tries to save to my desktop.
I'm not sure i've got your use case right, but if i've understood you correctly you have a link in a web page to a PDF which you're viewing in chrome. You click on that link and the PDF downloads to a temp file from which it is opened. If you edit and save those changes are simply saved to the temp file on your local PC. Is that correct?
If so, then this is simply normal behaviour for links in web pages. There is absolutely nothing in the HTML standard which suggests links should be opened by an editor with knowledge of the source location.
What you really want is for the link to launch an editor program which retrieves the remote document in edit mode (probably locking the remote resource) and then have edits saved back to the server. For this to happen there generally needs to be some special interaction in the browser. In Internet Explorer this is provided by the sharepoint dll and special script code. I think there's a plugin for Chrome which does the same thing, although differently.
I havent used the Chrome plugin, but i think this might help - https://code.google.com/p/npapi-msdocs/

You could upload to a HTTP like dropbox. The downside of simple HTTP file transfer is that it is fairly easy for somebody to grab your credentials using a common tool like Fiddler. However that is also the case with FTP just a bit harder. The upside to uploading to dropbox is that you could have any file size (providing you have the space on your dropbox account).
I haven't tried using the dropbox upload api yet but you can read the documentation here, take a look at the PUT and POST methods: https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs
If you just wanted to upload to dropbox and you have the dropbox client installed you could just save the file to the dropbox folder on your computer and it would auto upload.
I am trying to create a custom control for updating a List on a Sharepoint site that only allows Sandbox Solutions to be added.
I've read a few threads on uploading attachments, but they all seem to involve doing it from the server machine (Using a file stream to read a local file).
Is it not possible to use Javascript or something to pass a file through to a Sandbox'd webpart??
The answer, it seems, is no. You cannot.
