Sorry that I wasn't very specific.
Here's the script source code:

import os,cgi
path = r'C:\path\to\upload'
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
if form.has_key("userfile"):
        item = form["userfile"]
        if item.filename:
            data=item.file.read()
            upfile =file(path + '/' +os.path.split(item.filename)[1],'wb')
            upfile.write(data)
            upfile.close()

and heres the form html:

<form method="POST" action="index.py" encType="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="userfile">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
