directory on the server.

<FORM ACTION="/PostMultiServlet"
METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="desc" value="">
<INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="filecontents" value="">
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit" NAME="Submit">
</FORM>

reponse.getParameter("filecontents")
.........what does it give? just the file name or the file object itself
?
Then how do i save that file?

Despite its maturity, the servlet specification still does not support
multipart/form-data encoding for uploading files. So you will have to
use a third party solution, either one provided by your application
server or an add-on like the Apache file upload package.
