Move File in ExpressJS/NodeJS

Question

I\'m trying to move uploaded file from /tmp to home directory using NodeJS/ExpressJS:

fs.rename(\'/tmp/xxxxx\', \'/home/user/xxxxx\         


        

Answer 1

Another way is to use fs.writeFile. fs.unlink in callback will remove the temp file from tmp directory.

var oldPath = req.files.file.path;
var newPath = ...;

fs.readFile(oldPath , function(err, data) {
    fs.writeFile(newPath, data, function(err) {
        fs.unlink(oldPath, function(){
            if(err) throw err;
            res.send("File uploaded to: " + newPath);
        });
    }); 
});
