That all depends -- What do you want to do with the "file" once it is loaded? Should it be used to load some data into objects, or do you just want to store a text file for use as an email attachment?

Okay, it sounds like your requirements are:

  • You have an object in Salesforce (either a standard object or a Custom Object)
  • You want to import data into that object

If your text file is in CSV format, you import it via Setup / Data Management. You have the option to load data into a Contact record or into a Custom Object.

For more complex loads, there is also the Data Loader which can be run as a batch.
