How do I upload a user's file to a file server in HTML

[vvinc]

I need to upload a file (xml, pdf, etc) from the user's PC, but I need to write it directly to a file server. I cannot use FileUpload because there is no way to direct its initial upload to anything but the web server. So, how do I use the HTML INPUT to upload the file from the user's PC directly to a file server located at a different URL than the web server the web page is being hosted on?

Thanks for your help. I am not as good with HTML as I should be.

Use input type="file" for uploading a file in the server.

Thank you for your reply. What I am trying to accomplish is not having the initial file upload go to the web hosting server, but directly to a file server. Setting type="file" will not accomplish this. Is there a way to do this?

No, not with HTML alone. You will have to use a server side language (PHP, ASP). Here is a site that covers things fairly well. I just briefly scanned it, but the page has a few references and should tell you what you need.
