如何从服务器下载文件并在Node.js中同步重命名？

Question

I want to every client can download files from the server's folder, and I don't want that all those files be saved in the /download folder.

I thought first download the file and then rename it, but I need to run this code synchronously.

router.get('/', function(req, res){

        const file = `${__dirname}/upload-folder/apple.jpg`;
        const destination = `C:/Users/steve/Downloads/apple.jpg`;

        res.download(file);

         fs.renameSync(destination,"C:/Users/steve/Desktop/downloadedimg.jpg");     
    }
);

It looks like you're conflating the client side vs. the server side. The code you provided is for node.js on the server side. You're not able to specify where on the client's computer a file is downloaded. You can provide a different name for the file that's being downloaded:

res.download(`${__dirname}/upload-folder/apple.jpg`, 'orange.jpg');
