Temporary ID

I have an application which contains a product form and inside of it, a section for image uploads.
When a person uploads a file, I make a POST via AJAX and the file should be saved in /myServer/productID/fileName

However I will just have the productID later when I submit the product form.
How can I do that ?

Thank you

    you can use a guid for a temp id and return to the Ajax caller (encrypted if security is important). then rename the file when you have the correct. I'd add a static prefix, so you can identity images that were uploaded, but no form post was received.

    This way I could rename the file on the database later when the product form is submitted.
    However I still need a task to move the file from the temporary folder to the right one right ?
