SikuliX automates visually what you are doing manually on a screen using mouse and keyboard.

some steps like this:
- on the screen you find out, where to click to start an upload (capture image)
- you click to give focus to some file selection menu
- you enter the filename
- you click a button, that starts the upload (capture image)
- you wait for completion by waiting for some visual feedback on the screen

just start with the SikuliX IDE to get used to the kind of workflows, we are using

the docs talk about the features and the net has many examples.
It helps to have some basic understanding about scripting with Python language.

Hello,

As u mentioned above in the third step

- you enter the filename

On Mac Osx we don't have an option to enter file name , And my requirement is the file which am trying to upload i need to change the file name every time i upload on to the website reason being , once a file with a name is upload website again won't accept same file to be uploaded . In order to upload same file i have to re-name the file.

How can i get this working ?

With SikuliX it is rather easy:
What you can do manually with mouse and keyboard, you can do by scripting with SikuliX.

So if you can't do something manually, SikuliX will not help you to solve the problem.

Can you help with this problem?
