the problem is when i perform the uploading functionality in the default.aspx page it is working good.but i redirecting from that page to upload page and perform the uploading functionality it is the error

Answer 1

The first question is where is your "sphosturl" parameter in the Default.aspx code? I guess it is the "appWebUrl".
From your code ,it seems you want to make your SharePoint-hosted add-in to upload files to the add-in web, so you must confirm whether you have documents library folder in your app and set correct location to "serverRelativeUrlToFolder" parameter . Otherwise it will threw Access Denied error. Tested code below is for your reference (I have add the documents library in my app):
'use strict';
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
// Check for FileReader API (HTML5) support.
if (!window.FileReader) {
alert('This browser does not support the FileReader API.');
}
});
// Upload the file.
// You can upload files up to 2 GB with the REST API.
function uploadFile() {
// Define the folder path for this example.
var serverRelativeUrlToFolder = 'Lists/DL';
// Get test values from the file input and text input page controls.
var fileInput = jQuery('#getFile');
var newName = jQuery('#displayName').val();
// Get the server URL.
var serverUrl = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl;
// Initiate method calls using jQuery promises.
// Get the local file as an array buffer.
var getFile = getFileBuffer();
getFile.done(function (arrayBuffer) {
// Add the file to the SharePoint folder.
var addFile = addFileToFolder(arrayBuffer);
addFile.done(function (file, status, xhr) {
// Get the list item that corresponds to the uploaded file.
var getItem = getListItem(file.d.ListItemAllFields.__deferred.uri);
getItem.done(function (listItem, status, xhr) {
// Change the display name and title of the list item.
var changeItem = updateListItem(listItem.d.__metadata);
changeItem.done(function (data, status, xhr) {
alert('file uploaded and updated');
});
changeItem.fail(onError);
});
getItem.fail(onError);
});
addFile.fail(onError);
});
getFile.fail(onError);
// Get the local file as an array buffer.
function getFileBuffer() {
var deferred = jQuery.Deferred();
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function (e) {
deferred.resolve(e.target.result);
}
reader.onerror = function (e) {
deferred.reject(e.target.error);
}
reader.readAsArrayBuffer(fileInput[0].files[0]);
return deferred.promise();
}
// Add the file to the file collection in the Shared Documents folder.
function addFileToFolder(arrayBuffer) {
// Get the file name from the file input control on the page.
var parts = fileInput[0].value.split('\\');
var fileName = parts[parts.length - 1];
// Construct the endpoint.
var fileCollectionEndpoint = String.format(
"{0}/_api/web/getfolderbyserverrelativeurl('{1}')/files" +
"/add(overwrite=true, url='{2}')",
serverUrl, serverRelativeUrlToFolder, fileName);
// Send the request and return the response.
// This call returns the SharePoint file.
return jQuery.ajax({
