Look at my code  but be aware  I use async await  because latest Chrome beta can read any es6 code  which gets by TypeScript with compilation  So  you must replace asyns await by  then     Input change handler           param fileInput     public psdTemplateSelectionHandler  fileInput  any       let FileList  FileList   fileInput target files       for  let i   0  length   FileList length  i  lt  length  i              this psdTemplates push FileList item i               this progressBarVisibility   true      Submit handler    public async psdTemplateUploadHandler     Promise lt any gt        let result  any       if   this psdTemplates length            return             this isSubmitted   true       this fileUploadService getObserver            subscribe progress   gt                this uploadProgress   progress                   try           result   await this fileUploadService upload this uploadRoute  this psdTemplates         catch  error            document write error             if   result  images              return             this saveUploadedTemplatesData result  images         this redirectService redirect this redirectRoute       FileUploadService  That service also stored uploading progress in progress  property  and in other places  you can subscribe on it and get new value every 500ms   import   Component   from  angular2 core   import   Injectable   from  angular2 core   import   Observable   from  rxjs Observable   import  rxjs add operator share     Injectable   export class FileUploadService           param Observable lt number gt      private progress   Observable lt number gt            type  number      private progress  number   0   private progressObserver  any   constructor          this progress    new Observable observer   gt            this progressObserver   observer                    returns  Observable lt number gt       public getObserver     Observable lt number gt        return this progress             Upload files through XMLHttpRequest        param url     param files     returns  Promise lt T gt       public upload  url  string  files  File     Promise lt any gt        return new Promise  resolve  reject    gt            let formData  FormData   new FormData                xhr  XMLHttpRequest   new XMLHttpRequest             for  let i   0  i  lt  files length  i                  formData append  uploads     files i   files i  name                      xhr onreadystatechange        gt                if  xhr readyState     4                    if  xhr status     200                        resolve JSON parse xhr response                      else                       reject xhr response                                                       FileUploadService setUploadUpdateInterval 500            xhr upload onprogress    event    gt                this progress   Math round event loaded   event total   100                this progressObserver next this progress                       xhr open  POST   url  true           xhr send formData                     Set interval for frequency with which Observable inside Promise will share data with subscribers         param interval     private static setUploadUpdateInterval  interval  number   void       setInterval      gt      interval

First  you have to create your own inline TS-Class  since the FormData Class is not well supported at the moment   var data       name  string    file  File          name   Name     file  inputValue files 0         Then you send it to the Server with JSON stringify data   let opts  RequestOptions   new RequestOptions    opts method   RequestMethods Post  opts headers   headers  this http post url JSON stringify data  opts
