hi , 
kevin was write uploading is process of sending file from client to server.
for that u can have a simple jsp with a form with an special enctype.(it
may be ENCTYPE = MIME/binary-form data) i will send u exact page soon.
and a browse button using which client can select any of its system file
and send a file ( i will send u the example code later b/c at the moment 
i am in office.)
so when client submit the form the servlet is invoked, in this servlet
u have  to parse the binary data received from form , this can be done with
third party  tool. and than u can save that file on the server as you wish.

i will soon send u  the source code that will solve ur problem.
