Hello everybody,

i am working on a script that uploads given file list to ftp server.
my problem is that i dont want to provide FILE input, insted i have provided Textarea where one can type file names, now problem is that, if i submit the form my script can not find given file name as it is not submitted by FILE input so...

Can anyone knows how to do this? or how could i specify value (ie filename) in file tag.??

8O , err.. um. do you have the understanding of the uploading process? how an upload works, how files are submiited to server etc. i think you gotta read up on that.

A file field is not writable. You can only read the value from it.
