Meteor-files: Insert file on server

[stefanve]

I'm tired and probably a bit thick - but I do not see how I should go about to simply add a file that the server have picked up somewhere. Process is that I have a PDF-form-fill server on one machine and my Meteor access that with form data and get a link to PDF file in return.
If link, I do a GET and can save it on my local file system. All is well, apart from that I want it into my filesCollection with the other files.
Can that be done? Is a few hours of sleep all I need?

Hello @stefanve ,

Take a look on:

• .addFile() - Add local file to FilesCollection from FS
• .write() - Write a Buffer to FS and add record to Files collection

Perfect, thanks!

I couldn't use write function.
I am getting this error: Error during upload: TypeError: Images.write is not a function.
