How to upload a file in share point server from a local machine connected through lan using c#

Question

I am really new to this share point stuffs.We have a share point server with admin account in it and i was connecting it from my local machine through ip and share point port manually. Nut i need to write a program which needs to upload the files into the share point server from the local machine to server. Is it possible in using winforms ? or only possible in web services.?

   using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(sharePointSite))
{
    using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
    {
        if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileToUpload))
            throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found.", fileToUpload);    



    SPFolder myLibrary = oWeb.Folders[documentLibraryName];

    // Prepare to upload
    Boolean replaceExistingFiles = true;
    String fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileToUpload);
    FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(fileToUpload);

    // Upload document
    SPFile spfile = myLibrary.Files.Add(fileName, fileStream, replaceExistingFiles);

    // Commit 
    myLibrary.Update();
}

}

tried using the above code and i getting error from the following line

using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(sharePointSite))

and the error was

"The Web application at http://server:port/ could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application"

and am not able to upload the file. But if i copied and paste the same URL in my local machine i can able to access the sharepoint deployed in server and i can even upload files manually from my local machine.

How to upload a file in sharepoint server from the local machine connected with LAN..??

Answer 1

siteURL = Main URl of the sharepoint (eg) "http://10.0.0.14:48487/";

documentListName = any of the folders in shrepoint (eg) Shared Documents

documentName = name of the file (eg)sampleword.docx , readme.txt etc

documentStream = the byte format of the file which we going to upload.

(eg)byte[] bytefile = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filepath+filename);

public static void UploadDocument(string siteURL, string documentListName, string documentListURL,string documentName, byte[] documentStream = null)
    {  

     try
        {
        using (SP.ClientContext clientContext = new SP.ClientContext(siteURL))
        {

            #region"Only if you have credentials"
            NetworkCredential Cred = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
            clientContext.Credentials = Cred;
            #endregion


            SP.List documentsList = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(documentListName);

            var fileCreationInformation = new SP.FileCreationInformation();
            //Assign to content byte[] i.e. documentStream

            fileCreationInformation.Content = documentStream;
            //Allow owerwrite of document

            fileCreationInformation.Overwrite = true;
            //Upload URL

            fileCreationInformation.Url = documentName;

            Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File uploadFile = documentsList.RootFolder.Files.Add(
                fileCreationInformation);


            uploadFile.ListItemAllFields.Update();
            clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
    }
}

}

This works perfect for me :) :)
