Flask Download a File

Question

I\'m trying to create a web app with Flask that lets a user upload a file and serve them to another user. Right now, I can upload the file to the upload_folder corr

Answer 1

I was also developing a similar application. I was also getting not found error even though the file was there. This solve my problem. I mention my download folder in 'static_folder':

app = Flask(__name__,static_folder='pdf')

My code for the download is as follows:

@app.route('/pdf/', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def download(filename):    
    return send_from_directory(directory='pdf', filename=filename)

This is how I am calling my file from html.
