So you want to upload a file to your server from another site? It won't happen with JavaScript. You need something server side.

Yeah. You mean that means it should work with JavaScript too? It doesn't. JavaScript is limited by a lot of security restrictions. It doesn't have access to the server.

@The_webmaster, a file upload requires three steps:

1. The browser and file upload HTML page let the user choose a file on his own computer. As far as I know this can only be done with the <input type="file"> element, because of security restrictions. Javascript is not allowed to view the user's file system.

2. The chosen file is sent to the web page's server. This can be done with javascript (using Ajax), but it's usually better to keep it simple and use an HTML form.

3. A server-side script on the server receives the file and saves it to the web server. There are many different server-side scripting languages, such as PHP, Perl, Python, Java.

As a sidenote you can actually install a javascript engine on a server too, but that's of course completely separate from the internal javascript engine in the user's browser, which only interprets the javascript on HTML pages.
