Ok, I get what what you're saying, but I seem to be having a heck of a time getting the randDir passed into the instance to perform the upload.
Here is the new code snippets: views.py instance = Upfile( file = file) instance.upload(randDir) models.py @staticmethod def upload(randDir) file = models.FileField( upload_to = MEDIA_ROOT+'/'+randDir) I am using @staticmethod as I found that otherwise I needed to pass "self" and kept getting a NameError "self" not defined. The error I currently get with the above code is: TypeError: 'file' is an invalid keyword argument for this function When clicking my "upload" button.
