ok i got this script

[AS]\<!doctype html public “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 //EN”\>  
\<html\>  
\<head\>  
\<title\>Title here!\</title\>  
\</head\>  
\<body\>  
\<form action=“upload.php” method=“post” enctype=“multipart/form-data”\>  
\<input type=“hidden” name=“MAX\_FILE\_SIZE” value=“1000000”\>  
Select a file to upload! \<input type=“file” name=“userfile”\>\<br\>  
\<input type=“submit” value=“Upload!”\>  
\</form\>  
\</body\>  
\</html\>[/AS]

and this is the .php file

```php
<?php

if(!(copy($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], "Upload/" . $_FILES['userfile']['name']))) die("Cannot upload files.");

echo "Upload Complete!";

?>

```

the HTML is called upload.htm and the php file is upload.php  
i have a folder that the files go to called Upload  
but i get this error

> 

Warning: Unable to create ‘Upload/EXAMPLE.gif’: Permission denied in /home/vhosts/gta.to-j.com/upload.php on line 3  
Cannot upload files.
