<script runat="server">
Sub submit(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
  fname.InnerHtml=MyFile.PostedFile.FileName
  clength.InnerHtml=MyFile.PostedFile.ContentLength
  MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs("c:\uploadfile.txt")
End Sub
</script>

<html>
<body>

<form method="post"
enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
<p>
Select file to upload to server:
<input id="MyFile" type="file" size="40" runat="server">
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Upload!" OnServerclick="submit"
runat="server">
</p>
<p>
<div runat="server">
  FileName: <span id="fname" runat="server"/><br />
  ContentLength: <span id="clength" runat="server"/> bytes
</div>
</p>
</form>

</body>
