How do I upload a file by using

ktor-client

in

multiplatform

? I am aware of the

formData{}

but I can't seem to find where I can

append

a

file

to the builder.

can’t help you if you’re trying to do a multipart form upload with a file. if you’re just doing a simple upload you can set a

ByteStreamContent

or

ByteArrayContent

as the request

body

So I have to read the bytes from the client first?

what does “read the bytes from the client” mean

Yes, I am using ktor client. You said I can use ByteStreamContent or ByteArrayContent. My app requires a user to pick a file and upload it. How do I convert from a file to ByteArrayContent/ByteStreamContent? Do I read the file's content as ByteArray on the client before sending it to the server?

yes

That would surely do. Thanks again

yeah, i only have experience on the android side, sorry

Much thanks. Let me dig through and see how I can get a ByteReadChannel
