I need to upload files from client to our network file system. The web app runs as a user that has authority to the network system. Is there a way to read the bytes of a client file into a parameter and then send that to the servlet so it can be processed(FileOutputStream)?
 
I realize that Java will be used after the data gets to the servlet but wouldn't I use JavaScript at the client to read the data so it could be sent to the servlet?
 
No... no you wouldn't. You might want to consider an introductory paragraph on HTML forms and the input of type 'file'.
