Programatically upload html files to a web server with nodejs

I have a discord js bot with tickets system (A system where users can create private channel and ask staff for help). When a channel is deleted, my bot saves all messages and creates html file with messages that were in that channel. I want to upload that file to a web server so users can review it without having to download it, but I am unsure how to do it. The below variable attachment holds the html file/string to be uploaded.

const attachment = await discordTranscripts.createTranscript(channel, {
      limit: -1, // Max amount of messages to fetch.
      returnType: 'attachment', // Valid options: 'buffer' | 'string' | 'attachment' Default: 'attachment'
      fileName: fileName, // Only valid with returnBuffer false. Name of attachment. 
      minify: true // Minify the result? Uses html-minifier
   });

This is quite opinion-based question. There are a lot of ways to do it.

SSH

You can use Node SSH to log into your server via SSH and upload the file.

Rest API

Host a simple and secure Rest API in the server to write the HTML file and call it from your main application.

AWS S3

If you are using AWS, Create an S3 Bucket, make it publicly readable and enable static web hosting. Now you can put your HTML files to your S3 Bucket using AWS-SDK and access them via S3 Bucket Url.

If you are using some other cloud platform like Azure / GCP, Checkout their own storage service.
