I have a socket.io client to whom socket.io server is listening in node.js. I want to upload a file to server by socket.io
. because my socket.io
client is under apache. and socket.io
server is in Node.js. I want to code uploading of file in Node.js. But how I can send the file data to the node.js listening to socket.
I have tried the upload of a file using Node.js server. This link is here but the this code does not use the socket.io
with this. But my original project is using the socket.io
.
Uploading a file in node.js by formidable
How can I do this with the socket.io
server?
Right-click the folder and select “Upload other file here. . .“. Browse the server for the file you want to upload. Select the file and click Open. Now, you will see the file in the folder location on the server.
Socket.IO enables real-time bidirectional event-based communication. It works on every platform, browser or device, focusing equally on reliability and speed. Socket.IO is built on top of the WebSockets API (Client side) and Node. js.
It seems that Socket.IO is always dependent on a http server, to the point that it will create one for you, like in the example above.

Read by yourself this tutorial on NetTuts. This tutorial uses node.js and socket.io to upload a file.
