Answer 1

It is too late but helps someone, I'm using node version v7.9.0 and express version 4.15.0

if your directory structure is something like this:

your-project
   uploads
   package.json
   server.js

server.js code:

var express         = require('express');
var app             = express();
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/uploads'));// you can access image 
 //using this url: http://localhost:7000/abc.jpg
//make sure `abc.jpg` is present in `uploads` dir.

//Or you can change the directory for hiding real directory name:

`app.use('/images', express.static(__dirname+'/uploads/'));// you can access image using this url: http://localhost:7000/images/abc.jpg


app.listen(7000);
