    Path already exists!

    Reply Contact

    Whenever I upload a file to Nirvanix, if there is an existing file which has the same name, I always get the error: 'Path already exists'. Is there any way to allow me to overwrite the existing file without throwing an exception??

    Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you

     You can use GetStorageNodeExtended when generating the upload token. This call takes in the parameter fileOverwrite as a boolean that will let you overwrite the existing file.  You can find the documentation on this method at the following URL:

     http://developer.nirvanix.com/sitefiles/1000/API.html#_TocGetStorageNodeExtended

    Sorry I still don't know how to use this method as it seems it doesn't tell me how to upload a photo to nirvanix then. Here is my code:

    Dim objIMFS As New com.nirvanix.services.IMFS

    Dim objStorageNode As com.nirvanix.services.StorageNode = Nothing

    Dim sRemotePath As String = "/oztionpic/26l"

    objStorageNode = objIMFS.GetStorageNodeExtended(sToken, 1024, "", False, sRemotePath, True, 6000, 259200)

    then what, I am stuck here. Can you tell me how to do next? Thank you.
