 * ImageField (See an image preview during editing.)
 * Token (Generate dynamic paths when saving images.)

If your site is any larger than a personal blog, you should definitely install
the following modules to increase the security and stability of your uploads.

 * Transliteration (Convert unsafe characters to file system safe names.)
 * MimeDetect (Check the content of files to ensure they match the extension.)

-------

1) Copy the filefield folder to the modules folder in your installation.

2) Enable the module using Administer -> Site building -> Modules
   (/admin/build/modules).

   Manage fields on the type you want to add an file upload field. Select
   "File" as the field type and "File" as the widget type to create a new
   field.
