I can upload a File with flask by following Uploading Files:
- A
<form>tag is marked withenctype=multipart/form-dataand an<input type=file>is placed in that form. - The application accesses the file from the files dictionary on the request object.
- Use the
save()method of the file to save the file permanently somewhere on the filesystem.
But I don't know how to upload folder or some files. I searched, and I found Uploading multiple files with Flask.
However, still I don't know how to upload a folder and files that belong to the folder.
Could you please tell how?
