The upload feature is an essential feature of Flmngr file manager. You can do it right from file manager dialog but sometimes you need to programmatically upload some files to the server. Flmngr API provides such a feature.

There is Flmngr.upload({params}) method that can upload passed files or links (a set of URLs) into the desired directory.

You pass there as filesOrLinks array these types of object:

Files selected by user using Flmngr.selectFiles method. File type.
Files selected by user somewhere in your app. File type.
External URLs selected by user using Flmngr.selectUrls method. string type.
External URLs specified by your app. string type.
Blob objects from your app. Blob type.

The directory where wish to place uploaded files should be set as dirUploads parameter. Note that it starts not from the root of the server, but from the root of the storage folder, see its description on the API page to know more.

The mode (rename/overwrite) is set by the mode parameter.

If you upload images, you might want to create some image formats for them after uploading (i. e. previews), you can do this with Flmngr.createImageFormats({params}) method.

This sample shows how to combine Flmngr.selectFiles and Flmngr.upload({params}) methods and let the user upload files from his computer.
