Reading uploaded file

[kuzeykoca]

connection.on('STOR', (error, fileName) => { // upload
const text = ???
console.log(text)
})

1 Is there any way to read incoming file at this step without instantiating a new fs object ?
2 How can i decide whether save the incoming file ?

Yep! Absolutely.

You'll want to write your own write function and provide a custom filesystem. You do not have to provide every function - if they are missing they will use the default functions.

Here is the default implementation: https://github.com/autovance/ftp-srv/blob/master/src/fs.js#L79

For example, we use this write function to store our files in S3 and expose a purely virtual file system to the client.
