## Example: Uploading a user-selected file

Another thing you might want to do is let the user upload the selected file or files (such as the images selected using the previous example) to a server. This can be done asynchronously very easily.
This example shows how to let the user upload files (such as the images selected using the previous example) to a server.

> **Note:** It's usually preferable to make HTTP requests using the [Fetch API](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API) instead of {{domxref("XMLHttpRequest")}}. However, in this case we want to show the user the upload progress, and this feature is still not supported by the Fetch API, so the example uses `XMLHttpRequest`.
