You need the enctype="multipart/form-data" added to your <form> tag - and it should probably be POST for the method and not GET, and a max file size...
<form action="file.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="2000000">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="upload" readonly>
<input type="hidden" name="path" value="class/" readonly>
<input type="file" name="upload" readonly>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-sm" value="upload to specific dir">
</form>
