Hi,

As you said you want to upload a file in to KM folder. What i think is your KM folder has a specified location in the server. so just know that location in the server and upload the file there. you can go through the following link to create a folder in the server and upload the file to the mentioned server folder.

Hi,

It is doing exactly what it is designed to do. You cannot access local files on the client from a web app running in a browser. You will have to upload the files to the server first and then access it via the server side code.

In Web Dynpro you can use the FileUpload UI Element to upload file(s). There are plenty of tutorials on that and [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDJava/Re-creatingtheFileObjectfromWebDynProFileUploadUIcontrol] link is helpful to understand how to access the file after the upload.
