Object Storage Service:Upload a local file

Last Updated:Oct 18, 2023

This topic describes how to call the put operation to upload a local file to Object Storage Service (OSS).

Sample code

The following code provides an example on how to upload a local file named examplefile.txt to a bucket named examplebucket. The uploaded file is stored as an object named exampleobject.txt in OSS.

const OSS = require('ali-oss')
const path=require("path")

const client = new OSS({
  // Specify the region in which the bucket is located. For example, if the bucket is located in the China (Hangzhou) region, set the region to oss-cn-hangzhou. 
  region: 'yourregion',
  // Obtain access credentials from environment variables. Before you run the sample code, make sure that you have configured environment variables OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET. 
  accessKeyId: process.env.OSS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
  accessKeySecret: process.env.OSS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET,
  // Specify the name of the bucket. 
  bucket: 'examplebucket',
});

// Add custom request headers.
const headers = {
  // Specify the storage class of the object. 
  'x-oss-storage-class': 'Standard',
  // Specify the access control list (ACL) of the object. 
  'x-oss-object-acl': 'private',
  // When you access an object by using the URL of the object, specify that the object is downloaded as an attachment. In this example, the name of the downloaded object is example.jpg. 
  'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename="example.txt"',
  // Specify tags for the object. You can specify multiple tags for the object at the same time. 
  'x-oss-tagging': 'Tag1=1&Tag2=2',
  // Specify whether the PutObject operation overwrites an object that has the same name. In this example, the x-oss-forbid-overwrite parameter is set to true, which specifies that an existing object that has the same name cannot be overwritten by the uploaded object. 
  'x-oss-forbid-overwrite': 'true',
};

async function put () {
  try {
    // Specify the full paths of the object and the local file. Do not include the bucket name in the full path of the object. 
    // If the path of the local file is not specified, the local file is uploaded from the path of the project to which the sample program belongs. 
    const result = await client.put('exampleobject.txt', path.normalize('D:\\localpath\\examplefile.txt')
    // Specify custom headers.
    ,{headers}
    );
    console.log(result);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
}

put();

FAQ

How do I ensure that the HTTPS URL rather than the HTTP URL is returned after I upload an object?

If you want the HTTPS URL to be returned after you upload an object, you must set the secure parameter to true. For more information, see Parameters.
