in thread Need to use data passed from FORM from HTML page to CGI upload script.

Thanks for the comment. What you suggested is absolutely correct but not as per the requirement. I need to provide another button "Download" on the HTML page wherein if user click this button , Circle_Techno.csv should get download(Basically I am calling another download cgi script here for its execution). My bad .. I forgot to write about it in the original post.

    You can combine upload and download into one script by using an action parameter on the buttons. For example

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>MAINTENANCE PAGE</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="Maintenance_Framework.cgi" method = "post" enctype="mult
+ipart/form-data">
<h3>MAINTENANCE PAGE</h3>
<p>
Circle:
<select name="Circle" >
    <option value="Gabon">Gabon</option>
    <option value="Tanzania">Tanzania</option>
</select>
Technology : 
<select name="Techno" >
    <option value="Core">Core</option>
    <option value="RAN">RAN</option>
  </select>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Download"/></p>
File to Upload: <input type="file" name="filecsv"/>
<input type="submit" name="action" value="Upload"/>

</form>
</body>
</html>

      I tried to use the same example which you listed but somehow when I am clicking the upload button,it is stating that Maintenance_Framework.cgi is not found. HTML page location - > /opt/IBM/JazzSM/profile/installedApps/JazzSMNode01Cell/isc.ear/OMNIbusWebGUI.war/custom CGI location - > /opt/IBM/netcool/gui/omnibus_webgui/etc/cgi-bin HTML Code for your reference which I modified in your base code 

      <!DOCTYPE html>

<form action="https://10.XXX.XXX.X:16311/ibm/console/webtop/cgi-bin/Ma

        Is 

        https://10.XXX.XXX.X:16311/ibm/console/webtop/cgi-bin/Maintenance_Framework.cgi
        a valid URL if you enter it directly in the browser ?
