I want to upload files to an FTP. I would like to use NSURLSession for its backgrounding support. Apple documentation says it is supported but so far I have been unable to find it. The POC I have done is as follows:
The sample code from apple here uses NSStreams which I would like to avoid. On the other hand Apple's URL programming guide here says:
The URL loading system provides support for accessing resources using the following protocols:
- File Transfer Protocol (ftp://)
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http://)
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol with encryption (https://)
- Local file URLs (file:///)
- Data URLs (data://)
So far I have searched through NSURLSessionUploadTask and NSURLSessionDataTask but I have only been able to find HTTP protocols, which will not work for FTP.
Much appreciate any help and thanks in advance.
