I have implemented code for uploading images and directory to FTP using iPhone.
But I need to upload text file on FTP using iPhone. Can you please send me code for that.
Here's an example:

It uploads one byte at a time, so be sure your strings are ASCII encoded if you are expecting ASCII.
Here is a script to upload entire directory including text, binary etc. files. It creates subdirectories as needed.

Start with that script and change it to suit your particular situation.

I want to encode locally and upload to avoid spending money in encoding.
Is this allowed? I did not find any documentation on it.
When I simply uploaded a file to the storage, the media services account said it could not play it without the ISM file. I had to encode (was it re-encode? it was an mp4) the file I had uploaded - I want to avoid that.
Yes, absolutely allowed and encouraged for customers. Especially ones that have custom encoding requirements that we may not support.
You can upload an .ism file that you create along with your encoded files. It's a simple SMIL 2.0 format XML file that points to the source files used.
It's a bit hard to find searching the docs, but there is a section outlining the workflow here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/media-services/latest/encode-dynamic-packaging-concept#on-demand-streaming-workflow
There is also a .NET Sample showing how to do it here:
https://github.com/Azure-Samples/media-services-v3-dotnet/tree/main/Streaming/StreamExistingMp4
You can see the code line at 111 that shows how to generate the .ism file -
// Generate the Server manifest for streaming .ism file.
// This file is a simple SMIL 2.0 file format schema that includes references to the uploaded MP4 files in the XML.
var manifestsList = await AssetUtils.CreateServerManifestsAsync(client, config.ResourceGroup, config.AccountName, inputAsset, locator);
After learning the basics from Apple's SimpleFTPSample project, I'm trying to append a string to the end of a .txt file on my FTP server. I successfully managed to overwrite an existing file with a custom string, but I suspect that the kCFStreamPropertyAppendToFile property that defines whether the file will be overwritten or appended is not available in iOS.
What is the recommended way to do so in iOS?
Eventually I ended up downloading the file's content using HTTP (it's much faster than FTP). Next, appending the string to the file's content and then uploading the file to the server using FTP.
This might not be the best solution, but it does solve the problem.
I am developing a simple iPad application that should submit some text from a form to a .csv file. I could manage to update the .csv file which is saved locally in the documents folder on my computer. However, I need to keep the file on a server, probably download the file, append data, and upload it again (Export a bulk of data to the file on server). Any idea how I could do something like that?
I guess ftp might be the easiest way, see this question
your other options likely involve writing a server-side service to post data to.
When i send a .txt file via ftp on the simulator it works fine. but when i send it from the device, the .txt file gets send, put not the contents of it.
Can anyone help?
You asked a similar question the other day (and didn't mark an answer.)
How are you trying to upload the file via FTP? Please show us some code.
As I said in my answer to your other question, an easy way to upload a txt file via ftp would be to use some pre-canned FTP library. This one seems to be good, and they have examples on their web page of how to upload files with just a few lines of code:

I've got over 400 bookmarks saved as .webloc files. I'd like to move them to the iPhone's goodReader app. goodReader cannot open webloc files. It can sork with pdf, html but not webloc.
Do you know of a way or a program that would take a folder as its input, and convert every single .webloc file in it into a PDF version or a html version - so I can grab the converted files and move them onto iPhone.
Thank you
Try this, it should be able to convert the files to pdf http://files.macscripter.net/joy/files/webloc2pdf.zip
