Hello @Velkumar,

 

Here's a basic example using cURL:

curl -v -H "X-XSRF-TOKEN: TWX-XSRF-TOKEN-VALUE" -H "AppKey: $APPKEY" \
 -F "upload-repository=SystemRepository" \
 -F "upload-submit=Upload" \
 -F "file=@myvideo.mp4;type=video/mp4" "$TWXURL/FileRepositoryUploader"

 

Obviously you would need to adjust the filename and MIME type.

 

Regards,
Constantine

Hello VR,

 

After doing some digging on this it looks like the video file will need to be converted to a Base 64 format before you can use one of the Save Services available on the File Repository Thing. These Save Services allow you to upload files directly to the repository. See CS236873 for more information on uploading to a File Repository.

 

Your other options to upload the file directly are the File Upload Widget or the File Transfer Subsystem.
