Issue when trying to transfer uploaded files about redcap-api-transfer

[senorrojo]

Ah, that downloaded_files directory did not exist. Just created it and tried again on the single record and all worked. Also tried it with all records on a more complicated project and everything worked as expected. Thanks for the easy (and quick) fix!

@senorrojo - Note that there is now a change to repository that should prevent what you experienced.

What I'm doing now is detecting if the /downloaded_files folder exists. If it does not, I create it. That should prevent the error you were experiencing.

If you want to pull the patch, remove that folder and see if it works that would be cool. Thanks!

@aldefouw Just pulled the patch, removed the folder and did a test transfer - the directory was auto-created on transfer and all worked as expected with no errors. Confirming that the patch works. Thanks!

@senorrojo - Thanks for reporting this. Based on the partial stack trace, the error seems to be happening within the Curl request itself.

Can you see the 2a206 form.pdf file on your hard drive in the ~/redcap-api-transfer/downloaded_files/ folder? How big is the file?

Have you checked the file size limits on the destination server? You might be exceeding the configured PHP max upload size or some other limit ...

This might be hard to reproduce for me if this is a configuration issue at the PHP level on your server. If you want, you could post a phpinfo() of the file upload limits, etc.

@senorrojo - You might have uncovered a potential oversight / bug in the script though. It would probably be better if I created that folder if it does not exist.

I probably never noticed it because I always had the folder on my local machine ...

Fix will be to investigate whether it's worth creating the /downloaded_files folder.

Probably need to do a change directory and create the folder.

@senorrojo - Awesome thanks for confirming.
