2) In the Insert HTML box, enter your field name, with TYPE='FILE'

Insert HTML the field name and type

then click OK

3) Make sure your form setting is set to accept files. Select Settings in the properties palette

Check your form settings

When you publish the site, you will have a form field and "BROWSE" button that will allow you to select and upload a file.

NOTE: Once you have uploaded the file, you will still need to "process it" by placing it in the appropriate server directory.

How to handle the file will depend on what your intentions are with the file, the file type, any scripting language you are using (ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, PHP, etc), and the limitations placed on you by your hosting company.
