Hi,
For writing a file this is the code snippet

try {
        BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("outfilename"));
        out.write(char[] cbuf, int off, int len);
        out.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
}

Now what do you mean by upload? Is this a client-server setup?
In that case is client/server on JAVA platform, upload is used in HTTP perspective. Please eloborate your requirements.

there will be a button call browse when the user clicks on it he will be able to browse through the file system and select a file to upload or save on apache server with is installed on the same PC.

I simply want to Upload an image which is saved on your file system and save it on another location (like in CGI-BIN in apache server)

For pc to server upload you better to use something like Commons FileUpload
