No need for 'form_data' on the page (your controller doesn't return it
anyway).

No need for 'form_data'. When you upload the file, the field values are
stored in request.vars and then transferred into form.vars. The file upload
will be in form.vars.myfile, which will already be a cgi.FieldStorage()
object. So, form.vars.myfile.file will be the open file object, and
form.vars.myfile.filename will be the original name of the uploaded file.

It's generally best to use os.path.join to build file paths. Also, if you
want to store the files within your application's folder, you should start
at request.folder, which is the absolute path to the application folder:
import os
filepath = os.path.join(request.folder, 'path', 'to', 'myfile.ext')

Just return the form to the view -- handle everything else in the
controller.
