For upload, I think you really mean download. Upload means sending a file from your computer up to the webserver. Download is the opposite.
Anyway, ahoffman has already answered your question (unless you really did mean upload)

I am sorry for the misunderstanding about my question. Let me explain what I am doing in more detail.
I have created a webpage, and I have a server working behind it.
The users logged into that page,
the page is:
<HTML>
<HEAD>File Upload</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FORM ACTION="upload2.cgi" METHOD="post" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-da
File to Upload: <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="files"> <br><br>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Upload File">
</FORM></BODY></HTML>
and send their files to the server.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
$q = new CGI;
$file = $q->param('files');
print $q->header;
mkdir "$file";
print "File name is: $file";
This code uploads the file to the same place where the .cgi file is, right?
My question is, how can I set the files location to somewhere else? for ex. it is under a directory called perl_project, but I want to move it to a directory with the path C:/uploaded_files/
Sorry again for the undetailed question.
thank you

ronan_40060, this question deals with a form provided by the web server, no script on the client
you only can try to use client-side scripting, like JavaScript, ActiveX etc.
