Unlike the PutFile function that
copies a local file to the server, PutData will copy the contents
of the Data buffer 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
on sending data to the server this way, you should try to keep data below
64kb.
What will PutData do for you? It will copy the
contents of a 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 an environment such as ASP, make
sure that the Guest user has sufficient privileges to create temporary
files.
Once the file has been created and sent to the server, it
will be deleted from the local disk.
