I am trying to upload files using nodejs. Here's the code I tried locally.
var http = require('http');
var express = require("express");
var fs = require('fs');
var formidable = require('formidable');
var upload_html = fs.readFileSync("upload_file.html");
var upload_path = "./uploads/";
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
if (req.url == '/uploadform') {
res.writeHead(200);
res.write(upload_html);
return res.end();
} else if (req.url == '/fileupload') {
var form = new formidable.IncomingForm();
form.parse(req, function (err, fields, files) {
var oldpath = files.filetoupload.path;
var newpath = upload_path + files.filetoupload.name;
fs.rename(oldpath, newpath, function (err) {
if (err) throw err;
res.write('File uploaded and moved!');
res.end();
});
});
}
}).listen(8086);<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Upload File</title>
<style>
body{text-align:center;}
form{display:block;border:1px solid black;padding:20px;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Upload files to Node.js Server</h1>
<form action="fileupload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="filetoupload">
<input type="submit" value="Upload">
</form>
</body>
</html>Now, I want to push this to a remote server. I already have an IP to the server.
Can someone please explain what are the necessary steps to be followed and what are changes to be made to the code.
I tried copying the files to server and when I try to run node index.js it's not working
