Above line creates a uploads folder in the same directory where the src code of the site is stored. We should also check for file extension that the user is uploading as there would be some specific type of file that the site can process. Also there is security issue if the user can upload any type of file.
User might upload html file that can cause XSS cross site-scripting problems. For this post, we only need pdf file extensions as this Flask app would remove watermark from pdf files created by CamScanner App Famous App for scanning documents through Mobile Camera. Pdf files would have watermark at the bottom similar to what is shown in the image below :. Function checks the filename for allowed file extension and if file type is supported the function returns True otherwise it returns False.
For example, if we want to limit the maximum size of the file to 1 Mb, we need to add the following line of code in our program. After setting the maximum file size of the file in our python program, if we upload a file having a size of more than 1 Mb, then we will get the error as shown in the below image.
While building a file uploader using Flask, we can also configure the file extensions that we want to upload. To configure the allowed file extensions, we need to create a list of allowed extensions and check the uploaded file extension in the list.
The below code shows a practical illustration of the method. In the above code, we create a function that will check the uploaded file extension and compare it with the allowed extensions. Till now, we have seen how to upload a single file to our server. But sometimes, we also want to upload multiple files to the server. See the below code for illustration.
After creating the Html form, we need to make some changes to our Flask application file. First, copy the following Python code into your Flask app file. In the above code, we use python for loop to iterate over the list of files and then save each file one by one.
We can choose multiple files now and upload them at once to the server. We have seen how to upload files using Flask, but sometimes we also want to serve a file to the user.
First, create an HTML template in the templates folder, named the file download. Now, we need to create our app. In our app. Then, copy and paste the following code in the app. After copying the above code, run the code by typing the command python app. If everything works fine and the server starts without any problem, we have created our file downloader.
If you click the download button present in the URL, then the file will start downloading. For the above code to work properly, we need a file with the name sample. In this tutorial, we learned to create a file uploader and file downloader using the Flask library. In addition, we have seen how to configure the max size and extension of the file upload. You may also want to see our step-by-step guide on creating a Flask app in python. How to upload a file with a python script?
How to make it so you can acess it not only on the local network? But how do you specify the maximum file size after which an upload is aborted? The code above will limit the maximum allowed payload to 16 megabytes. When using the local development server, you may get a connection reset error instead of a response. You will get the correct status response when running the app with a production WSGI server.
This feature was added in Flask 0. For more information on that consult the Werkzeug documentation on file handling. A while ago many developers had the idea to read the incoming file in small chunks and store the upload progress in the database to be able to poll the progress with JavaScript from the client. Asked 5 years, 5 months ago. Active 2 years, 6 months ago. Viewed 34k times. So I wrote the following code: app.
Error But this code doesn't seem to work. If anybody have an idea it would be great. Thanks in advance. Improve this question. Alexandre D. Where are these files on the file system? If you are not dynamically generating the file then why not use flask.
