For a pure HTML solution you need two things:
a form with at least one file input tag:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action=<%=
response.encodeUrl("'path-to-your-servlet'") %> method="post">
<input type="file" name="FileData" value="" size="52" maxlength="255">
</form>
and a servlet that uses a MultiPartRequest (http://www.servlets.com/cos/)

> What requisites would be required for this?
