Can you provide more detail about your question? Which product are you using? Are you trying to run a test of a device's ability to receive files? What have you tried already, and what was the result?

I'm using iTest 4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04 (not the officially supported version for Linux iTest) and I'm trying to upload a file to a server that supports the REST API but can't figure out how to specify the file for upload. The intent is for another device to download this file later in a separate test. II have setup/used the REST session with success but not for uploading files, only for Puts/Posts/Deletes. Does iTest Rest session support uploading files?

Could you please share with us the REST API syntax/command that you could use outside the iTest to perform the same.

We need to specify the respective content-type as HTTP header and paste the content of file in a Raw section of session window, with the respective API and method as POST For example: To upload the file which contains xml data, the command in curl involves, curl --request POST --basic --user admin:admin --header "Content-Type:application/xml" --data-binary @C:/Users/DELL/Desktop/sample123.tbml http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ilo/api/0/topology/upload_tbml For the same action to make it work in iTest REST session, I specified the URL as http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ilo/api/0/topology/upload_tbml then HTTP header as content-Type, application/xml and pasted the xml file contents in raw field as shown below, Hope this helps! ![alt text][1] ![alt text][2] [1]: /storage/temp/3756-httpheader.jpg [2]: /storage/temp/3757-raw.jpg
