Can someone help me How to Upload file from windows directory using selenium2library and Robot Framework.I have tried using Choose File command in selenium2library but I am getting error as File doesn't exist in local file system.I am not sure whether directory path is not considered or any other issue. Please give me valid code or any alternate solution.Any help would be appreciated.Following is the command I have tried
Choose file xpath = //input[@firmware-upgrade='firmware'] /Downloads/Cambium_Builds/Falcon/ePMP1000-Hotspot-2.5.1-b3.tar
HTML tag is `

Thanks every one for your answers and time,but luckily following script helped my uploading a file from windows and its working fine.There might be different options to perform the same using AutoIT but I have tried with whatever i know.

After clicking the browse button to open the popup using Robot Framework you can do something like the following to submit a file.
public static void robotwrite() throws Exception{
try{
RobotWrite rw = new RobotWrite();
rw.type("C:\\Desktop\\Example.docx");
Robot r = new Robot();
r.keyPress(VK_ENTER);
r.keyRelease(VK_ENTER);
}catch (Exception e){
Log.error("Could not write");
throw(e);
}
}

Selenium provides the option to upload files using the send_keys() method. I don't know what language you are using so I'll provide an example in Python.
In the screenshot I can see that this is your input element:
<input type="file" firmware-upgrade="firmware"/>
Assume you have found this element and saved in the element variable. If we want to upload a file to this all we need to do is use the send_keys() method and give the filepath as argument.
element = function_to_locate_element()
element.send_keys('path\\to\\file')
This way there is no need to use the robot for this.
