Hi Team,
Basically I have created a file upload widget (mashup) which uploads the file to my thingWorx cloud instance manually(click on browse->upload) and it was a success.
Now I wanted to automate the activity from REST Client like postman.
In body selected binary - and browsed the file to upload and hit send in postman
I recieved the error response.

However I were able to successfully download the file from REST with GET method and later created a java application to download the file.
I am stuck with steps to upload file to cloud using rest.
Thanks,

The Thingworx intro Connectivity course covers this, I recommend people take this course to learn about this.
Could you point were this course is?
In Postman, try adding File type in form-data.
Hi Arun,
Thanks..But that does not seem to work too... POSTED , with headers as appKey(key) - value (application key) and Content-Type - application/xml
In body - selected Form-Data and browsed the xml file and hit the URL :
http://gexxxx.cloud.thingworx.com/Thingworx/FileRepositories/getFileUploadThing/
Recieved error :
<h1>HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL</h1>
<HR size="1" noshade="noshade">
Thanks,

Which version of Thingworx are you using? I believe older versions doesn't support POST.
For sending plain text data we could use method=POST in query parameter as:
http://gexxxx.cloud.thingworx.com/Thingworx/FileRepositories/getFileUploadThing?method=POST
however for sending File, even I'm not sure.
