上传文件到 Node 服务器

Question

I am using angular 4 in client side and written nodejs & express services with MongoDB to upload a file into the server .Here in my angular side i am using the code <input type="file" id="myfile" /> and sending the path of the file to the server for uploading that file into server i am using document.getElementById("myid") .value; to get the path of the file but it gives me the path as C:/fakepath/myfilename.txt but for uploading the file i need the correct path not the fakepath. I have searched in google they are saying the true path is disabled by the modern browser for some security reason, Is there any workaround for this?

Answer 1

The point of a file input is to send the file to the server. That is your "workaround".

The file path is useless to you: It is the path on the visitors computer which your server can't access.

Just upload the file normally.
