Naveed -

If you want a simple program, why not just use HTML to
transfer the file? Have you tried ? If you
need to do something specific to the file, you can run a script
after it's on the server, but if all you're looking for is a
feature that'll allow you to design a page around a file transfer,
stick to HTML.

Hope this is what you were looking for. When I was working
with the eVe SDK (http://www.evisionglobal.com) this was something
that could've come in handy. No sense in writing a 100 line servlet
when you can do it in HTML.
