Unfortunately, that method will not work, because all you're passing to
your script is the filename of what you want to upload... The easiest
solution will be to use an html form to upload the file, I'm afraid.
The problem is when you try to open c:\folder\filename.html on the
server, where it doesn't exist.
Hope that helps,
