Upload to an FTP server via curl — upload

The function upload_ftp() runs the command curl -T file server to upload a file to an FTP server if the system command curl is available, otherwise it uses the R package curl. The function upload_win_builder() uses upload_ftp() to upload packages to the win-builder server.

upload_ftp(file, server, dir = "")

upload_win_builder(
  file = pkg_build(),
  version = c("R-devel", "R-release", "R-oldrelease"),
  server = c("ftp", "https")
)

Arguments

file: Path to a local file.
server: The address of the FTP server. For upload_win_builder(), server = 'https' means uploading to 'https://win-builder.r-project.org/upload.aspx'.
dir: The remote directory to which the file should be uploaded.
version: The R version(s) on win-builder.

Value

Status code returned from system2() or curl::curl_fetch_memory().

Details

These functions were written mainly to save package developers the trouble of going to the win-builder web page and uploading packages there manually.
