Patrick,
You probably want to look into using the HTML form element type of FILE.
You can put this on a form and it will give a text field to enter a file
name with a browse button beside it. It's like this:
<input name="uploadFile" type="file">
It then sends the file with your form results as a multi-part MIME, if I
remember correctly. I haven't tried handling this with JSP, but I suspect
it's possible. There is probably code available somewhere that does it for
you already if you look. You could then do whatever you want with the file.

Subject: FTP From JSP
I need to have a user specify a file residing on their local hard drive
and then FTP it to where my web server is running (some directory). I
would assume I would need to use FTP within my java code to do it. But
this runs on the server so I would not have access to the local hard
drive. How would I upload a file?
