Getting access denied error while importing file using input type="file"

Question

Hi All,
I am using struts application wherein I need to import file for some purpose.I have used input type="file" for the same which goes like:
<input type="file" id="uploadFile" name="uploadFile" size="50">
I have the import button on which I have used onClick event to call javascript function submitValues() used to validate all the fields from the page which goes like:
<input type="button" name="select" value="Import" class="CSSButton" onClick="javascript:submitValues();">
The JS function then in turn submits the form and calls the action.The problem is sometimes even when the correct path is specified for the file to be imported results in access denied error.This error comes sometimes and other times it works fine.But when this error comes,I need to relogin into the application and then it works fine.I am using IE7 for this.
Any idea why I am getting access denied error while importing? Has it got something to do with IE7 version or with the input type="file" which is being used here?
Thanks for any help if anyone can provide.

Hi Friends,
I have gone through scores of examples and i am failing to understand the right thing to be done to copy a file from one directory to another. Here is my class...So let's see... C:\GetMe1 is a directory on your machine, right? And this is what you are doing with that directory:
public static void copyFiles(File src, File dest) throws IOException
// dest is a 'File' object but represents the C:\GetMe1 directory, right?
fout = new FileOutputStream (dest);If it's a directory, where in your code are you appending the source file name to the path, before trying to open an output stream on it? You're not.
BTW, this is awful:
catch (IOException e)
IOException wrapper = new IOException("copyFiles: Unable to copy file: " +
src.getAbsolutePath() + "to" + dest.getAbsolutePath()+".");
wrapper.initCause(e);
wrapper.setStackTrace(e.getStackTrace());
throw wrapper;
}1) You're hiding the original IOException and replacing it with your own? For what good purpose?
2) Even if you had a good reason to do that, this would be simpler and better:
throw new IOException("your custom message goes here", e);
rather than explicitly invokign initCause and setStackTrace. Yuck!
