How can I send file using parameter instead set it in FilePath in JMeter HTTP Request Sampler?

When I use bean shell script to preload the file to a variable and then set it in parameter of HTTP request sampler to upload file, from the wireshark packets I find that the content-length is not right. Also the content-type is set to text/plain which cause problem. How can I change it?

Below are some pictures to show the jemter setup and wireshrak snoops.

You're using wrong configuration:

  1. Check Use multipart/form-data for POST box
  2. Remove your file from Parameters area

  3. Add it to Send Files With the Request area like:

    • File Path: ${__property(FileData,,)}
    • Parameter Name: File

    • MIME Type: text/plain

      Example upload configuration

See Performance testing: Upload and Download Scenarios with Apache JMeter guide for more information on simulating file upload and download events in your JMeter script.
