If you're asking how to get the path where the client stored the file they're uploading, you can't. That information is not provided by any browser I'm aware of... it's considered private and/or sensitive.
If you're looking for a way to specify a path where an uploaded file should be stored on the server's filesystem, you could allow the client to specify it with a text box or select control. But if you're really looking to upload a bunch of files to a remote filesystem, there are far better ways to do this, like ftp and scp.
If you're looking for how to upload files to Zope, take a look at the HTML source behind the Add File interface... it should tell you most of what you need to know.

My problem is following: In our intranet it should be possible to upload TeX-Sources. These Sources I want to compile into a pdf and a html version and then I want to store them in different folders. So: I don't want to upload a file to zope because (I hope I'm right) then it is stored as a zope object in the zope-filesystem (or how that is called..) and I can't manipulate the file then... right? So what I want to do is: upload ONE file into servers filesystem and I haven't found a good homepage explaining how to solve that problem... BTW: I knoe that there is stuff like DTML-TeX and the possibility to create pdf on the fly, but I want to try it by myself... Thanks for any advices, links and hints... -mas PS: I am working under linux.
