b2_copy_part
Copies from an existing B2 file, storing it as a part of a large file which
has already been started (with
b2_start_large_file
).
When calling b2_copy_part
, by default the entire source file will be copied
to the destination. If you wish, you may supply a range
param to only copy
a portion of the source file over.
Request
The upload request is a POST.
Request HTTP Headers
Authorization
required
An account authorization token, obtained from
b2_authorize_account
.
The token must have the writeFiles
capability and the readFiles
capability
if the bucket is private.
Request HTTP Message Body Parameters
sourceFileId
required
The ID of the source file being copied.
largeFileId
required
The ID of the large file the part will belong to, as returned by
b2_start_large_file
.
partNumber
required
A number from 1 to 10000. The parts uploaded for one file must have contiguous numbers, starting with 1.
range
optional
The range of bytes to copy. If not provided, the whole source file will be copied.
Response
Response HTTP Status 200
File successfully copied. The JSON response will contain the standard part information. For copied files, the action is always "copy".
fileId
The file ID for uploading this file.
partNumber
Which part this is.
contentLength
The number of bytes stored in the part.
contentSha1
The SHA1 of the bytes stored in the part.
contentMd5
optional
The MD5 of the bytes stored in the part. Not all parts have an MD5 checksum, so this field is optional, and set to null for parts that do not have one.
uploadTimestamp
This is a UTC time when this part was uploaded. It is a base 10 number of milliseconds since midnight, January 1, 1970 UTC. This fits in a 64 bit integer such as the type "long" in the programming language Java. It is intended to be compatible with Java's time long. For example, it can be passed directly into the java call Date.setTime(long time).
Response Errors
File not copied.
If possible the server will return a JSON error structure. Errors include:
status |
