Answer 1

I solved my problem by using the following code,

server1 (using needle) :

app.post("/move_img", function(req, res) {
    console.log("post handled")

    var data = {
        image:{
        file: __dirname + "/img_to_move.jpg",
        content_type: "image/jpeg"}
    }

    needle.post(server2 + "/post_img", data, {
        multipart: true
    }, function(err,result) {
        console.log("result", result.body);
    });
})

Server 2:

app.use('/post_img',multer({
    dest: '.uploads/images',
    rename: function(fieldname, filename) {
        return filename;
    },
    onFileUploadStart: function(file) {
        console.log(file.originalname + ' is starting ...')
    },
    onFileUploadComplete: function(file) {
        console.log(file.fieldname + ' uploaded to  ' + file.path)
    }
}));

app.post('/post_img', function(req, res) {

    console.log(req.files);
    res.send("File uploaded.");

});

An alternative for the server 1 is the following (using form-data module):

var form = new FormData();
form.append('name', 'imgTest.jpg');
form.append('my_file', fs.createReadStream(__dirname + "/img_to_move.jpg"));

form.submit(frontend + "/post_img", function(err, result) {
    // res – response object (http.IncomingMessage)  //
    console.log(result);
});
