Did you have any issues with the CSV part? It's pretty much the same as img but swap out IMAGES with CSV and image_name with filename but dang if I can get it to behave. Nothing but 404 comes up.
Stupid bloody Windows. /LOL For my test CSV file I had renamed a .txt file to .csv and Windows kept the .txt so it became 001.csv.txt It helps to call the files by their real name or at least name them right in the first place. /DOH! /LOL.
I really enjoy your series Julian, keep up the good work. I think it would be better to connect a button to the path of the files to get them downloaded. A lot of not so tech guys will be frustrated to type the name of the file they want to download.
That's exactly what I'm trying to do (trigger a file download when the user clicks a button) but not having much luck so far. Any resources you could point me to for getting this working?
For those who get a 404 error and are using Windows, you have to start your working directory with "C:" and remove the leading slash. So in this example it would be app.config["CLIENT_IMAGES"] = C:/wsl/projects/pythonise... etc.
LEGEND, for the ones who have this error "send_from_directory() missing 1 required positional argument: 'path'", replace filename for path in "send_from_directory(app.config['CLIENT_IMAGES'], path=image_name, as_attachment=True)".
Hello, please is there a tip to check the orientation of an odt file before upload ? That is to say I would like to check is the user select landscape mode in a dropdown list and he tries to send the file which is not in landscape, I will return a validation error
with flask version 2.0 instead of filename you use path
send_from_directory(app.config[... ] , path=image_file_name ....
this flask tutoril is best then the all tutoril on the youtube
I’ve been going through each episode one at a time, using your website and going back to each many times over. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
You sir helped me solve my confusion on this flask function. Thank you from a Python newbie! No more school boy errors for me.
Wrapped this into a HTML page with a file list so the user can click on the filename to download it. Awesome.
what a king.....btw for anyone newcomers instead of filename parameter for the send_from_directory...its now path

Download
This will make it look like a button, Then you use the url_for to direct the path to the download function.

GOOD JOB BRO, RESPECT
Hi,
Can you make video on send files to render inside html like pdf load inside html
did you find the solution ..?? if yes please let me know
Looks like the except part is never triggered, even if you have an error. The send_from_directory seems to handle it.
Seems to be true.
I want to send a pdf file from one user to another over my website how can I achieve this?
