You submit the form like any other form. Server-side, you write a few lines
of script in your environment of choice that get called by the server when
the upload is completed. The path to the uploaded file will be provided by
the script environment. At least that's how it works with PHP.

Thanks. But, can you show me some sample code. I'm having a lot of
trouble with this, and haven't done a whole lot of script coding.

Thanks, Don

This isn't a Javascript question, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate for
this group. You'll need to find out what server-side languages your host
supports and go to the relevant newsgroup. I expect you'll be able to
Google for the code, too.

Good luck,

From the "Handling file uploads" section of the PHP manual (www.php.net).

<?php
$uploaddir = '/var/www/uploads/';
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $_FILES['userfile']['name'];

print "<pre>";
if (move_uploaded_ file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
print "File is valid, and was successfully uploaded. ";
print "Here's some more debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES );
} else {
print "Possible file upload attack! Here's some debugging info:\n";
print_r($_FILES );
}
print "</pre>";

?>

This is the server-side PHP code stored in (for instance) a page that is the
file upload form's action.

One thing to watch out for is that you must specify the encoding type for
the form (which I always forget):

<form enctype="multip art/form-data" action="somescr ipt.php" method="post">
....
