Hi,
You can have an HTML file with the input field for file like.
<input type=file name=file>
Using this input field u can allow the user to browse for the file to be
uploaded.
Once the file is selected submit the form to the servlet.
At the servlet use the request object to read the file as a stream and write
it any where u want.
At the servlet in the doPost() method use the following code.
BuffereReader br=new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(request.getInputStream()));
String strTemp="";
while((strTemp=br.readLine())!=null) {
System.out.println(strTemp);
}
You can either read the contents of the file as bytes(for binary files) or
string(for text files) and write it to some file using fileoutput stream.
You can get the name of the file uploaded by using
request.getParameter("file");
-regards
