I’ve seen many posts on uploading files, however I’ve not seen any regarding uploading files to a html page on one PC; and then taking those files and downloading them back in the host pc.
I have a simple html page that is hosted by node.js. My index is located in a directory stored in the standard location for NPM (var/www/html). I can login to my web page on multiple PCs on my network.
I wanted to be able to login to my Web Wrowser from any of my devices and then upload a file. I would then want to trigger a function where that file is downloaded back on the host pc. Essentially I upload from pc A to pc B (host pc) -ideally saving the file in a specific directory in the pc that holds my hosted html template
I’ve had a few ideas of how to do this but I’m not sure where I’m going wrong.
<span>File Upload<input type="file" id="photo" name="photo" accept="image/png, image/jpeg"></span>
<form action="yourScript">
<input type="file" id="myFile" name="filename">
<input type="submit">
<a href="var/www/html" download> </a>
</form>
I’m using Apache/2.4.38 (Raspbian) Server.
Is there a function that I can call after submit that tells the server to download the uploaded file to the host pc (same directory where my index.html is located)?
Thanks for taking the time.
