After googling all around to overcome the Selenium incapability of handling File Upload control finally I could write a simple function in C# which will do my job. In the function given below _selObj is the object of DefaultSelenium class.

public bool TypeIntoFileUpload(string controlId, string filePath)
{
try
{
string newFilePath = filePath.Replace('\', '/');
_selObj.WindowFocus();
_selObj.Focus(controlId);
string jscript=”";
jscript += “if(selenium.browserbot.getCurrentWindow().clipboardData){window.clipboardData.setData('Text','” + newFilePath + “');}”;
_selObj.GetEval(jscript);
byte VK_CONTROL = 0×11;
byte VK_V = 0×56;
_selObj.KeyDownNative(Convert.ToString(VK_CONTROL));
_selObj.KeyPressNative(Convert.ToString(VK_V));
_selObj.KeyUpNative(Convert.ToString(VK_CONTROL));

return true;
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
return false;
}
}

And I hope your Server won't do anything with \\ URLs unless its not a Windows Server, which i hope even more less :P I’m still stuck with a model form that gets validated, for instance, if i want to force a user to upload a picture on account creation, i still would have to adjust my production code in order to be able to test it…

In other words, can your remote server do something like \\someip\mydesktop\testfile.txt? You are right that it's not a perfect solution, and adds a lot of brittleness. I would argue however that your Selenium tests if they are being run in any sort of regular way should be using the same file over and over, and not relying on your local desktop anyway! If you are running Selenium under any kind of Continous Integration environment, having a dependency on a local file will cause all sorts of nightmares! Well, can you hack around it?

If I want to upload a local file to a remote server under test, such a helper action doesn't work because it can't access the file.
