action-method

I have a View in which the user is able to upload a file to the server.

In this view I also have 2 buttons: one to Upload a file and other to Download the last file imported.

In my Controller I created 2 action methods: Import and Export.

How could I manage to redirect each button click to the proper action method in my Controller?

I have tried Html.ActionLink:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Upload", "Import", "OracleFile")%>
<%= Html.ActionLink("Download", "Export", "OracleFile")%>

Html.ActionLink didn't do the trick. The action links were taking me to the right Action methods but they were generating a GET request. This way Request.Files.Count = 0.

I need a POST request.
