Of course you can't!

The web is essentially an environement for *down-loading* remote
documents, ie it is read-only...

If you want to *upload* documents, you need to arrange this specially.
There are several techniques:

- use a form with enctype="multipart/form-data" and an <input
type="file"> tag (see a good HTML book for details). BTW, you need
server-sided logic to handle the data and write it to a file.

- use mod_dav (distributed authoring) or equivalent to enable the PUT
method of HTTP (see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_dav.html)

- use an FTP server to upload
