R Documentation

Upload to an FTP server via `curl`

Description

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.

Usage

upload_ftp(file, server, dir = "")

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

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.
`solaris`	Whether to also upload the package to the Rhub server to check it on Solaris.

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.
