I looked up an article "How to upload files using your web form" and tried to implement a upload of an image file to a folder on my server using the "File field" + a "button" to trigger the upload after the user defined the name of the file you want to upload ...

1 - in "File field193" in the tab "Advansed" and "Reload event" define event = send
2 - no Button201 in "Event" (on: click) set Action = Reload and Elements = load
3 - in the SETUP session I created an event called "send" ...
4 - I defined a return message in the form and also a DEBUG
5 - then put a "Load Files" and set Custom Files config = file193: png
6 - set a path on my provider's server to save files
​
However I did not get any success, the success message was not put on the form but DUBUG was sent by without conclusive information,
​
what is wrong?
​
What is left to do?
​

I noticed that the "File file193" field does not carry the file name for EVENT
​

When you do click this button, does it say "uploading..." in the bottom left of your browser?

No, just update the field field_fiel193 ...

Well first use a larger file so if it IS uploading you'll be able to see it. Secondly, I don't think it will work as easily as you want. Have a look at this thread it might help you out.
