How do I set up a web page where a person can search their hard drive for a photo, choose it, and it uploads?

I'm looking for step by step instruction on how to allow an end user to search their computer files, pick a pic and upload it to my web site. Anyone know how to do this?

You need a site that has scripting support such as PHP, ASP, AJAX etc.. then you install an upload script... configure the script with a path and make sure the path has permissions set for read/write.
Picasa does what your looking for
first of all very difficult methods 1. you can use remote login softwares like microsoft net meeting a google on that wud give you a whole list of others 2. you can use google desktop search and publish yourself online
Do you have someone to host the page? What language are you wanting to write it in? Here is an example, it is asp.net/C# if you would like the code let me know. http://www.joeycrone.com/web/pictureupload.aspx
First you need the form. <FORM ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" ACTION="/cgi-bin/your-cgi.cgi" METHOD="POST"> Now you need the input <P>File name: <INPUT TYPE="FILE"> The programming is the complex part and without having more details of the language you want to use I cannot help.
