SUMMARY

Uploading files from a Windows client to a server using Borland Delphi is feasible, but the existing solutions often require running a server executable on the web server, which may not be possible if direct access is unavailable. The user encountered limitations with a code sample from Planet Source Code that does not utilize standard HTTP web servers. Alternative methods or tools that do not require server-side execution are necessary for successful file uploads in this scenario.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with Borland Delphi programming
  • Understanding of HTTP protocols and file transfer methods
  • Knowledge of client-server architecture
  • Basic networking concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Delphi libraries for HTTP file uploads, such as Indy or Synapse
  • Explore RESTful API implementations in Delphi for file transfer
  • Learn about using FTP clients in Delphi for file uploads
  • Investigate cloud storage APIs that can be accessed via Delphi
USEFUL FOR

Developers using Borland Delphi who need to implement file upload functionality from Windows clients to servers, particularly in environments where direct server access is restricted.

Is it possible to upload files by a utility written in Borland delphi? I mean uploading files from a windows client to a server on the Internet.

Oh no, ther's a little problem left unsolved.
The program I got from the links doesn't use HTTP normal web servers. In other words we must run the server.exe on the web server first, then connect to it. And because we have no direct access to the web server (and it isn't runnig Windows anymore) for executing such a server on it. The code I downloaded is useless for us. Any other suggestions?
