# Static Files { #static-files }

You can serve static files automatically from a directory using `StaticFiles`.

## Use `StaticFiles` { #use-staticfiles }

* Import `StaticFiles`.
* "Mount" a `StaticFiles()` instance in a specific path.

{* ../../docs_src/static_files/tutorial001.py hl[2,6] *}

/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette.staticfiles import StaticFiles`.

```

This is because uploaded files are sent as "form data".

///

## Import `File` { #import-file }

Import `File` and `UploadFile` from `fastapi`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[3] *}

## Define `File` Parameters { #define-file-parameters }

Create file parameters the same way you would for `Body` or `Form`:

{* ../../docs_src/request_files/tutorial001_an_py39.py hl[9] *}

/// info

# Request Forms and Files { #request-forms-and-files }

You can define files and form fields at the same time using `File` and `Form`.

/// info

To receive uploaded files and/or form data, first install <a href="https://github.com/Kludex/python-multipart" class="external-link" target="_blank">`python-multipart`</a>.

Make sure you create a [virtual environment](../virtual-environments.md){.internal-link target=_blank}, activate it, and then install it, for example:

        // Update first directory cache
        List<SmbFile> files1 = Arrays.asList(mockFile1);
        directoryLeaseManager.updateDirectoryCache(dir1, files1);

        // Update second directory cache
        List<SmbFile> files2 = Arrays.asList(mockFile2);
        directoryLeaseManager.updateDirectoryCache(dir2, files2);

        // Verify both caches are independent
        assertTrue(entry1.isComplete());

        }
        
        List<SmbFile> files = new ArrayList<>();
        for (DirectoryCacheEntry.FileInfo fileInfo : entry.getChildren()) {
            // Create SmbFile objects from cached info
            SmbFile file = createSmbFileFromCache(directoryPath, fileInfo);
            files.add(file);
        }
        
        return files;
    }

			t.Fatal(err)
