I'm no Java programmer, but from your situation, it is clear that you need to put a check if the file was uploaded or not. It is failing for /etc/sudoers simply because you aren't allowed to read it as a user. -- Nilesh Govindarajan http://nileshgr.com -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
