C# Text file upload to a php websever

Okay so there a few examples around, but they are really long winded and confusing

Basically I want to upload a file lets say test.txt from my application to my webserver, i have the PHP to handle the post already,

Is there a quick and easy way to do this?

Ive tried using:

WebClient client = new WebClient();

string myFile = @"C:\Draft_3.txt";

client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

client.UploadFile(@"http://myweb.com/projects/idl/Draft Results/RK/myFile", "PUT", myFile);

client.Dispose();

but it gives me a "A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.WebException' occurred in System.dll" runtime error when running that code is there something i am missing?

Did you mean to use the "POST" method instead of "PUT"? POST is the usual PHP-upload mechanism. PUT is for content management/virtual disk use really. I've never even heard of PHP supporting PUT, because it's usually handled before PHP gets involved; by Apache/httpd.

According to MSDN that exception is usually caused by one of the following:

The URI formed by combining BaseAddress, and address is invalid.

-or-

fileName is null, is Empty, contains invalid characters, or does not exist.

-or-

An error occurred while uploading the file.

-or-

There was no response from the server hosting the resource.

-or-

The Content-type header begins with multipart.

I would check the server you are posting to and verify that it's getting the request at all and if it is, what response is it sending.
