Hi group

I have seen different sites that allow file uploads from there users.
The user triggers the file upload form and that form they are allowed
to brow there machine to find the file. How is this triggered?
Any info on where to look for this procedure or a tutorial would be
much appreciated.

What I want to do is allow my family to upload there pictures to my
site. And allow them to browse on there computer to find the files to
upload.
