UploadFile Method

Uploads a file.

Syntax

hadoopdfs.uploadFile(newFilePath, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method uploads a new file to NewFilePath and returns the full path of the uploaded file. If a file already exists on the server at NewFilePath, the Overwrite property controls whether the server will overwrite the file or return an error.

If the CreatePermission configuration setting is non-empty, the file will be created with the permission it specifies. Otherwise, the server's default (755) will be used.

If LocalFile is set the file will be uploaded from the specified path. If LocalFile is not set the data in ResourceData will be used.

To encrypt the file before uploading it, set EncryptionAlgorithm and EncryptionPassword.
