Hi, Both this and the original poster's intent are pretty bad as far as portability goes.
First, instead of re-inventing the wheel, use a good and proven componet for upload handling, like commons-fileupload (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/using.html). Second, know that the Servlet Specification guarantees only one place where you can write files: the directory accessible via (File) getServletContext().getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir"). If you want another directory, set it as an init-parameter to your upload servlet or your servlet context, or maybe even a JNDI Environment reference. Don't rely on the concept of "current working directory" as that's wildly different from one server implementation to another, and it's highly insecure.
