uploading of files WCF c#

uploading of files WCF c#

I am working on uploading files with a WCF web service, here's my code for
uploading:
public string UploadTransactionsFile(string uploadPath)
{
string uploadTransactionsFile;
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(uploadPath))
return string.Empty;
if (!ValidateTransactionsFile(uploadPath))
return string.Empty;
try
{
var dir = @"C:\Upload\";
string myUploadPath = dir;
var myFileName = Path.GetFileName(uploadPath);
CheckDirectory(myUploadPath);
var client = new WebClient { Credentials =
CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials };
client.UploadFile(myUploadPath + myFileName, "PUT", uploadPath);
client.Dispose();
uploadTransactionsFile = "ok";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
uploadTransactionsFile = ex.Message;
}
return uploadTransactionsFile;
}
I created a Windows Forms test client and added the service reference, but
my code in calling the method and hardcoded the file i want to upload:
private testServiceClient testService;
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var File = "C:\\file.csv";
testService = new testServiceClient();
mgiService.UploadTransactionFile(File);
}
I can upload files using one computer, but when I put my test client to
another computer, then I can't, because the file is just passing the
stringpath, which cannot be found on server computer.
Am I missing something?
Do I have to send my file as byte[]? If so, then how do I do this?
