I read that as the full path to the file on the server-side. For
example, in PHP the file is uploaded to: $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']
and the original name (without path) would be in:
$_FILES['userfile']['name'].
Since you didn't mention anything about this Lukas, I'm guessing there
is no file server-side with Seaside, just the data held in an object. If
that's the case, then I guess you just open an output stream and write
out the data to a file of your choosing William.

I guess you'd just set the content: to an opened file-stream. Any
experienced smalltalkers know better?
