Simple File Uploader

Simple File Uploader is a file uploader written using HTML5 and Node.js. It can upload both to a local directory on the server or to an AWS S3 server.

Seeing that many people are actually interested in both HTML5 File API and Node.js, decided to write a simple file uploader application as many of the examples out there are a bit complicated for beginners. Hope this helps!

Usage

1. Clone the repository or download and extract the files.
2. Install Node.js if you haven't already.
3. Go to the project directory.
4. Run the command npm install to install the dependencies.
5. Edit config.js if you wish to change the upload directory or use AWS S3.
6. Run the application using npm start.
7. Go to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:<PORT> where <IP_ADDRESS> is the IP address of the machine where the application is running and the <PORT> is the port number defined in config.js which is 8000 by default.
8. Drag and drop files to the marked area or click the text and select files to upload the files.
