How can I allow visitors to upload a file to my server?
I know I have to make a form but what should I put in the Action field?

 
If you are using a form to post to your site, you will have to use a cgi-script and have cgi capability on your server. This involves more than just adding "post" or some code to your form.

Bignosebird.com is an excellent resource for learning about CGI if this is your first foray into it. Also there is a CGI forum and a Perl forum here, but before posting there, learn the basics of CGI or you will be lost.

Another way would be to use ASP, if you are using an NT webserver. There is an ASP forum here that you can use to learn more about it. When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
