How To Set Multiple Files In Html Input By Default?

Question

If we have single file input then we set it with

 <input type='file' value='/bla/bla/bla.jpg'>

I have urls for example:

var images = ['http://bla.com/bla.jpg','http://bla.com/bla2.jpg']

How can we set multiple images from urls to file input?

<input type='file' multiple>

If you want to allow multiple file type to be allowed try using something like `accept="image/png, image/jpeg"` — Carsten Løvbo Andersen, Aug 25 '20 at 06:13
You cannot do this due to security reasons. Please see this- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1696877/how-to-set-a-value-to-a-file-input-in-html — Rahul Singh, Aug 25 '20 at 06:18

Note: The multiple attribute works with the following input types: email, and file.

For <input type="file">: to select multiple files, hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key while selecting.

And when we want to take file input by default, then we cannot do it. It means we cannot set a value to a file input due to some security reasons in HTML.
