Upload Permissions

I am currently working on a project which requires the upload of files to a specific directory. It seems the only way to upload the file is to chmod the directory to 777. My question is what is the danger associated with doing that, surely having a directory that the whole world can write to is bad right? And if this approach is bad then what other ways exists to upload the files.
