$folder = "/home/eisokant/public_html/websystem/uploads/";
Where is adminuploadfile.php located?

Chances are it's in public_html, so the path you want in that adminuploadfile.php is
$folder = "websystem/uploads/";

Welcome :)

Where did you get this script from?

You want to be using copy() or move_uploaded_file()

Chmod your folder you want so its writable as well, using your favorite FTP programusually something like 777 is what it'll end up being.

Rather than chmod 777 I would chgrp the directory to the group Apache runs as (see phpinfo() to find out what it is) then chmod it 755. That was only you and Apache can write, other people with accounts on the same server can't (although they could via a script similar to yours)
