Uploading files is needed when your server is on a different computer then the one you got the files on. If you say your server is on your localhost that means it's your own computer and you can just put the files in the directory your server sofware requires you to.Ruud Hermans

Either you could set up an anonymous (or not anonymous) FTP server that people can log into so that they can upload files to your computer.Otherwise, if you use PHP or .NET, you could build a form which allows users to upload files.http://us3.php.net/features.file-upload (PHP Manual)http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php (PHP Tutorial)http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/fileupload.asp (ASP.NET Tutorial)

If you use Java servlet or JSP, Apache's Commons FileUpload package (open source) will be very useful to you.
