Save image to server with FTP

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 40

Hello

 

I built an app with a screen where the user can take some photos. Now I would like to add the ability save the images to my local server I have set up. In other platforms, I would do this with FTP. What would be the best way to this with PowerApps?

 

My idea is to avoid saving the photo directly to my SQL server, since the images are big and that's not a good practice. This way, I would store in the SQL server just the URL directing to the uploaded photo.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Edit: I managed to use the FTP connector to establish a connection to my server. Now I am using the FTP.CreateFile() function, but I'm having a hard time saving the photo from the AddMedia Control as a common image extension (.png or .jpeg). Does anybody know how I could do that?
