File attachment - automation.

Hi

 

   I have written the "FTP" program in Perl Script technology. So I would like to use this code for automating the FTP/attach the files to “Salesforce” website and insert this file attachment details in the opportunities database list.

 

So, please help me the procedure to automate the file attachment into the opportunities list.

 

Thanks & Regards

Make a new Attachment object via the Salesforce API.  Base64 encode your file and put it in the Body field.  Set the ParentId field to the Opportunity you want to attach it to.  Set the Name field to the name of the file.  Insert the Attachment object.  That's all.

Hi
 
   I am not getting this point ("Base64 encode your file and put it in the Body field"), could you please send me more detail? If possible please refer some help.

There's not much more to say about it.  You need to encode your file (whether it's binary or text) in Base64, which will convert it to a big string of characters.  Then put that big string in the Body field of your new attachment.
