(Node.js) Upload Files to a Web Server - Simplest Example

This is the simplest example for uploading some files to a web server. the BlockingUpload call is synchronous and returns when the upload is finished (or failed).

A server-side C# example showing how to receive an upload is located at C# ASP.NET Code to Receive Upload

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOS

var os = require('os');
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {  
  var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-win64'); 
} else if (os.platform() == 'linux') {
    if (os.arch() == 'arm') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm');
    } else if (os.arch() == 'arm64') {
        var chilkat = require('@chilkat/ck-node23-linux-arm64');
    } else {

    }

}

function chilkatExample() {

    var upload = new chilkat.Upload();

    // Specify the page (ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Ruby, CGI, etc)
    // that will receive and process the HTTP Upload.
    upload.Hostname = "www.mywebserver.com";
    upload.Path = "/receiveUpload.aspx";

    // Add one or more files to be uploaded.
    upload.AddFileReference("file1","dude.gif");
    upload.AddFileReference("file2","swordfish.xml");
    upload.AddFileReference("file3","sample.doc");

    // Do the upload.  The method returns when the upload
    // is completed.
    // This component also includes asynchronous upload capability,
    // which is demonstrated in another example.
    var success = upload.BlockingUpload();
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log(upload.LastErrorText);
    }
