Geert,
You can do the upload using HTML forms. There is some sample code on jguru
to do this.
You use an HTML "file" element, which handles all the directory browsing
and file selection for you. When you submit this form, the file is
uploaded in the request.
The trick is that you must extract the file from request on the servlet
side. The request is a MULTIPART-MIME request. The file and all other
other request variables are put into one MULTIPART REQUEST.On the jguru
site there are several code examples for decoding this request.
Alternatively you can read up on the multi part request handle it yourself.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

Please respond to "A

How do you upload a file with http and servlets? Does anybody have
an example of this? I have already written a servlet that let's you
browse the directory structure of the webserver and let's you
download files if wanted. Now I want to build the upload feature...
Thanks in advance,
Geert Van Landeghem
