post file name

Question

Hello,

With AWS, I've got a webpage where I can upload files to the CC9P.

What I would like to do, is to know the file name and file extension before to receive the content of the file.
Doing this, from the same web upload form, I could detect if the file is a binary file for firmware upgrade or another file type that I need to store into file system.

Is there a function or procedure that would give me the file name?

Thanks in advance

Seb

Answer 1

Hello

There is no such function. The best you can do is the following:

In your application/project there is/should be a file entitled file.c. file.c is the web server's (AWS) interface to the file system. You'll have to go into file.c and find where the filename becomes available.

Answer 2

OK. Thanks for the reply.

I'm using file.c functions to process the file stored in the file system.
With this, I can store the binary file for firmware upgrade into the file system, check its extension and use it for firmware upgrade.

But is it possible to upgrade the firmware from a file stored into the file system?

Hello most developers use either FTP or web to update firmware. To do what you are asking (upgrade from the file system) I recommend looking at functions contained in the following file:

src\bsp\fsintf\fwdl.c

These are the internal calls used during the upgrade process.

That is what I want to do. A web update firmware. But instead of having 2 different upload field (one for file system, one for firmware), I want only one upload field.

I'll have a look at the functions you suggest and hopefully I should get something working.
In the worst case, I'll finish with 2 different upload.

Thanks a lot for your help.
