I suspect what you want is the path of the file as it's stored on the
client, but browsers don't generally make that path available to the
server (out of security concerns presumably). You get the name and
that's it. If you really need the original path, you could use an
applet to handle the upload, like
http://www.infomentum.com/appletfile/. It has other goodies too like
directory-at-a-time uploading.
