Moving a file on a server is not too difficult although there is no quick
and dirty answer. Your servlet must do all the work itself. Here is what
I'd do:
use the native java io classes to get a list of files in the "source"
directory.
create a clas which is responsible for actually moving the file. (FileMover)
the servlet will take the list of files provided by the java io class and
create an html page with the filenames listed.
When the user clicks on the file the href will execute another servlet
which takes the filename provided to it and sends it to the FileMover.move(
String filename);
The FileMover.move() will do the actual moving of a file (os dependent stuff)
As for the other question, I'm not sure how you'd do it. It would seem
that you would have to know the name of the edited file (worse case, the
goofy filename in the browser cache directory) and then do a file upload.
How ever you do it, I don't think its a trival problem. I may be wrong though.
