i just made a simple web based project cgi using fpc. the project has
successfully retrieved data from the html input form and saved it to
the database through POST method. then I intend to add upload file
feature through html form. Can this be done via cgi?

this is an example of the project I created :

Whether your server app is CGI or another type, it has nothing to do
with upload ability.

Typically, to upload file your html form should contain <input
type="file"> field(s) and submit request via POST.
Then, at server side, you should check Request.Files and process them
accordingly.

Note, if your app is behind proxy (or cgi host server), that server
config options should be checked (like POST size, file upload limits).
