outfile should include a path relative to your catroot, eg
outfile=images/junk.upload

I see some obvious errors such as Write the file being blank

I think you need yes=1 and no=0 to return something.

> and c:\ included in the file name.

I don't see that as wrong. This is just the name as passed from the form. I
use a regex to get the name from the full path, like you included in your
message.


..

#1. Has anyone used this feature successfully, if so, can you help?
Yes it works fine for me.

#2. How do I define the upload directory?
see above. afaik, in a default install using makecat you get a symlink
between <catroot>/images and the images folder in html space.

good luck!
