Please guide me how can I do, or I have to change my way to do it. Thank in advance.

If i understand you right you want to get a filepath, save that filepath and upload from that path later.

I'm sorry to say..this is not possible in the environment you described. The only way a file can be uploaded is the browser input element for file upload. For security reasons you cannot just upload a file from a filepath you know on the clients computer. So the user must do this all the way hisself.

Possibles solutions would be a signed java applet for example. But you can't do this the way you described. Maybe you could check on the web for possibilities to "upload multiple files at a time". The solutions for that problem could possibly help you getting further with yours.

No, that is not possible, for technical/security reasons: there is no way to set the file to be uploaded, except by user interacting with the upload box (because otherwise a malicious page could grab any file of the user).

What you could do is have the file upload as a separate form in an iframe (e.g. this is a useful JavaScript wrapper for that), upload the file first, and keep a reference to the file you now have on your server until the point when you actually need it in the main form.
