Upload file or folder

api

The FileAPI.UploadFile API enables a file to be uploaded from the local disk to a resource on the Volt.

Both the fusebox and the cli make use of this endpoint to also support uploading folders or entire trees of files.

For a live-synchronised folder tree (text as Yjs documents, binary as synapse blobs), use VoltDrive instead.

cli

Use the upload cli command:

volt upload --help

Upload the local folder ~/Pictures to the Volt4 ./share/pictures folder resource.

volt upload ~/Pictures ./share/pictures

fusebox

Use the ‘upload’ button on the folder toolbar, or drag and drop files from the OS native file explorer.

javascript

Open the file and read it in chunks, passing each chunk to the UploadFile API.
