A beeter method is to send the file via ftp. I think most browsers
allow this. And for example store the file in a user specific file.
Then the user, via a web interface, select the file it has uploaded
and do the rest of the operations you need.
Along with uploading the file I also have to pass other information to
update the database to associate that file with some user etc.
What kind of ftp method you are suggesting?

Thanks for your reply.
So you are saying I cannot do it using php. These files have to be
uploaded
locally but using web interface and I have to pass some parameters along
with file upload to update the database after upload is successful. Also
I
have to rename the file after it is uploaded.
Any utility which allows this?
Thanks,
Sukhwinder Singh
