No, you can upload too. You serve a page with a <form> that has the
appropriate input tags, I forget what they are. The browser will let
the user pick a file; when the user submits the form, the browser
will send a big ugly http request with a POST method with content-type
multipart/form-data. I think that's what it's called, I haven't done
this in a few months and the jargon is beginning to rot in my head.

One of the parts is the name of the file being uploaded and another
part has the content in-line, mime-encoded some way or other.

Setting up a web server to do that is a nontrivial exercise, but it's
done all the time. If you can pull it off, it would meet all your
requirements.
