'Uploading images to Windows Server and making them available publicly
I am trying to upload images in my windows server VM "hosted on-premise" and make these images available publicly like www.example.com/imageFolder/cat.png.
This VM has IIS enabled (I am not sure if IIS is related here) and it is assigned a URL and available publicly.
Aside from any programming languages or frameworks, I just want to know if storing the image in the server and making it available via a link is possible? If so, how can I achieve it?
To clarify further:
I believe what I want is very simple and tedious.
Consider the following workflow:
- Run an API that has end points to receive images on the server.
- Store the messages in the server.
- Return the link that points to the picture.
I want to know the procedure from the windows server side like
- Do I need to set certain properties on the folder where I will store the images?
- Do I need to add a site to show the images back to the user?
I am a developer and I am new to the Windows Server & IIS so I may not have all the fundamentals.
