I've been working on this code, but after searching online I still haven't found a way to download a file from the remote server. I can successfully upload files to the server, but downloading them is posing a challenge.
var storage = sftpStorage({
sftp: {
host: '171.16.....',
port: xxxx,
username: 'username',
password: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
},
destination: function(req, file, cb) {
cb(null, 'uploads')
},
filename: function(req, file, cb) {
cb(null, Date.now() + file.originalname)
}
});
var upload = multer({ storage: storage })
This is the route for uploading files: (Works perfectly!)
router.post('/upload-image', upload.single('file'), listarController.uploadImage);
Now, here's where I'm stuck - the route for downloading files locally: (Still looking for a solution...)
router.get('/get-file/:file', listarController.getFile);
The method used to download files locally:
controller.getFile = (req, res) => {
var file = req.params.file;
var path_file = './uploads/' + file;
fs.exists(path_file, (exists) => {
if (exists) {
return res.sendFile(path.resolve(path_file))
} else {
return res.status(200).send({
message: "The image doesn't exist."
})
}
})
}
Would appreciate any suggestions or tips. Thanks in advance!
