How to write png file to target directory from client side by flask
flask, python
Solution
You have the `save()` method of the `FileStorage` object, that lets you save the file content to disk:
file.save('/path/to/your/file')

Problem
I want to write to file from request.form["file"] but I can't do it. My contact.html is here. Client side code is like this... ``` <form action="contact" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <input type="file" name="file"> <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> ``` Server side is like this ``` filestorage = request.files["file"] print type(_file) #-> <FileStorage: u"__proto.png" ("img/png")> # I tried below this , but it doesn't work. f = open("tmp.png","wb") f.write(filestorage) ``` I want to write this which is png file to uploaded file somewhere. Do you have any idea? Thanks in advance.
