while the file itself is uploaded to the c directory on the server:
<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>

<input id="MyFile" type="file" size="40" runat="server">
