Example: Using REST APIs to Upload to an External Directory with Postman

In this example, we upload a file named data.txt to the inbox directory in our environment, https://<BASE-URL>.

Notes:

  • This example uses the 11.1.2.3.600 Upload API, which is a simpler non-chunked version.
  • The name of the file is passed in the URL itself, for example, https://<BASE-URL>/interop/rest/11.1.2.3.600/applicationsnapshots/data.txt/contents?extDirPath=inbox
  • If the filename contains special characters or has white space, it must be encoded using any online resource, such as urlencode.org . (See an example at the bottom of this topic: Example: Using REST APIs to Upload with Postman .)
