Unlike the PutFile function that
copies a local file to the server, PutData will copy the contents
of the Data variable to the specified file
on the server. This is a very handy feature for small files
that are stored in local variables within your programs.
Although there is no size limit for sending data to the
server in this way, you should try to keep the amount below 64kb. This
depends on how much data your programming
environment is able to store in a String variable.
What will PutData do for you? It will copy the
contents of the specified variable to a temporary file on
a local disk (in a temporary folder) and then copy that
file to the server. Keep in mind that for this method you
*MUST* allow the component to write to your disk. If
you are using wodSFTP in environment such as ASP, please make
sure that the Guest user has sufficient privileges to create temporary
files.
Once file has been created and is sent to the server, it
will be deleted from the local disk. If you prefer to send binary data
(that is not null-terminated) use the
PutDataLen function.
