Pick a server side language; could be php, ruby, node, python, etc, and that will help align where you should start to learn. Any of the courses here should show you how to receive data from a form on the server side.

Look at the Web design track, they teach you how to transfer files to a server there. For storing information you will need to make use of a database of some kind, they can be learnt here as well.
