mob
  verb
    Upload(F as file)


The rest is a variation of how you want to go about getting it to this directory.

Custom race verbs are just a matter of controlling mob type (Or hiding them as procs)

mob
  Human 
    verb
      Hate_Alien()

mob
  Alien
    verb
      Eat_Brain()



mob
  Human
    proc
      Hate_Alien()

mob.verbs += typesof(/mob/Human/proc)

Some more information would be nice. Do you mean to ask how to upload an icon to use in your own custom race, or upload it to a database so others can download it themselves?

Here's an example of using a custom icon in a race:

mob/verb/Custom_Race()
 usr.race=input("What name should the race have?","Race Name")as text
 usr.raceicon=input("","Race Icon")as icon


Really basic example, but it works.

The only way i think that possible is using fcopy. The following code seemed to work for me, so im not sure where it was going wrong for you:

mob
    verb
        Send_File(F as file)
            fcopy(F,"[F]")

That will stick the file in the main code directory.

Applying it to what you want would be simple enough.
<DM>
mob/verb/Custom_Race()
racename=input("Enter a name for the race")
raceicon=input("pick an icon for your race")as icon
//save the file
fcopy(raceicon,"[raceicon]")
