    For SOAP TestRequests we have an option called Inline Files, which lets you set the file as an Attachment and refer to it in the body of the request to put the file data inline.

     

    This isn't available for REST requests, but it's not much harder to use an inline script:

     

    {
    "myname":"Ox"
    "file":"${=new File("C:/somefile").bytes.encodeBase64()}"
}

    (Presuming you want to insert the file encoded as base 64)

     

    You don't need to attach the file to the request, but you will need to give an absolute path to the file on disk.
