I am using the Jakarta Commons FileUpload library to upload a file from
an Intranet site to a directory on the UNIX box.  This is working
correctly.

Except, when the file is transferred to the UNIX box, it is named with
the full file path from my local computer, rather than the original
file name
e.g.
I am uploading a file called spreadsheet.xls, which is located on my
desktop.  The file uploads correctly but is named "D:\Documents and
Settings\user\Desktop\spreadsheet.xls" when it should be called
"spreadsheet.xls"

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have included my code below, I do not have much experience and have
followed examples to get the code working.. so I am unsure what part
should be edited.

Thanks and Regards,
Laura
