Answer 1

This appears to be a duplicate question

Answer:

Flash uploader was removed to being insecure and replaced with javascript uploader. Please apply the correct patch 8788 or update the store to 1.9.4.5 / OpenMage Project to avoid further disruption.

Answer 2

I just built a basic Node.js CLI tool for image uploading based on this repo/module. This is for a legacy install that is still running 1.5x and is full of gremlins that prevent patching from working properly. It uses the old SOAP API.

I used Commander to add CLI options.

I used Pkg to create executables.

It's a pretty simple project that allows non-technical users to quickly add images to a product by SKU.

'use strict';
const Mage = require('./node_modules/magento');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const { program } = require('commander');
program
    .version('0.1')
    .option('-s, --sku <sku>', 'Base SKU to upload to')
    .option('-f, --file <file>', 'Image filename')
    .option('-l, --label <label>', 'Image label')
program.parse(process.argv);;
const options = program.opts();
function mageUpload() {
var session = new Mage({
    host: 'www.example.com',
    port: 80,
    path: '/api/xmlrpc',
    login: 'yourlogin',
    pass: 'yourpassword'
})
return session.login(function(err, sessId) {
    if (err) {
        console.log('error on login', err);
        return;
    }

    var filename = options.file;
    var image = fs.readFileSync(filename);
    var base64img = image.toString('base64');

    session.catalogProductAttributeMedia.create({
       product: options.sku,
       data: {
           file: {
               content: base64img,
               mime: 'image/jpeg',
               name: path.parse(filename).name
           },
           label: options.label,
           types: [],
           exclude: '0'
       }
    }, function(self, result) {
        console.log(self);
        console.log(result);
    })

})

}
mageUpload();
