Not works fs.readFile in node js

Question

I have:

 fs.readFile(\'../services/Prescipcion.xml\', \"utf8\", function (err, data) {
    console.log(\"err->\", err);
    console.log(\"data\", data);
 });
         


        

Answer 1

When passing data over from a Web App to an Express server, the fs root resides under the Web App directory and NOT the server's root directory. Therefore, the first writeFile parameter must point to a directory outside the server directory, or link over to the server file tree.
