It is indeed a HTML/Browser issue... I'm not sure if the filename in the
source can be setup by javascript due to security problems (if it was, a
malicious web site could receive all the of the user computer that have
a known location).
For file upload you can check:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.file-upload.php
But, the best solution for your case would thru the use of MOD_FTP, a
php extention that allows ftp operations. It is not a standard
extention, which means that either php needs to be compiled with it, or
if in windows, the .dll and php.ini must be configured correctly (dll
placed in extentions directory, and php.ini with the entry in the
";Windows Extensions" area).

Hi.
Is there a way to auto upload some files to the server?
It is about an intranet application. One pc uses some external programs for
some procedures. The result is a text file wich is stored always in the same
folder with the same name to the client pc. Is there a way php can
auto-upload that file (when asked to do so) without having to submit a form
filled by the user? I don't want to make that folder shared for security
reason.
Is that an html issue?
Thanx in advnace

No, because you cannot specify (and auto-fill in) the value of a form's
upload field (which is required to make use of the $_FILES post array).
This is quite rightly a security feature, else people could script hidden
form uploads of say /etc/passwd and so on.
If its a text file you can express in XML, you can upload the data as text
to the server with a POST request using the xmlhttp or MSXML.DomDocument.2
interfaces (or the equivalent in Mozilla)
