To upload a file in Python Django, we can get the upload files from request.FILES.
For instance, we write
for key, file in request.FILES.items():
path = file.name
dest = open(path, 'w')
if file.multiple_chunks:
for c in file.chunks():
dest.write(c)
else:
dest.write(file.read())
dest.close()
to loop through the request.FILES dictionary in our view function.
And then we can write the files into disk with write.
We can add a simple upload form with
<form action="/upload_file/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<label for="file">Filename:</label>
<input type="file" name="file" id="file" />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
which has a file input.
The action attribute of the form is set to the URL of the file upload view.
