Pascal Robert 37.1 5 The **WOFileUpload** element allows you to add an <input type=file> HTML element into your form, hence letting your users upload files to your server. This element must be inside an HTML form ([[doc:WOForm]]) element and the //enctype// binding of the form must be set to "multipart/form-data" (see the examples).

Pascal Robert 36.1 7 Starting with WebObjects 5.2, it is possible to stream file uploads so that the entire file is not stored in memory on the server while being uploaded.

77 The binding will be set to an InputStream that points to the file upload. Note that the input stream points directly to the multipart request body part incoming stream and thus you **must** consume this input stream and close it inside the current request action logic. If you use this binding, you can only have one WOFileUpload element in your form, and it have to be the last element of the form and the form's multipleSubmit attribute must be set to false. Our advice, just use streamToFilePath.
