Get original filename from file

I have an action that takes System.File

public bool UploadToServer( File file )

And I would like to use the original filename on the server as soon as it gets there. I have looked at MSDN File Class , but I don't see anything that looks like I can get the file name or, most importantly, the file path. Is there an attribute that I can use from File

to get its original name, or just make a link like this:

public bool UploadToServer( File file, string fileName )

?

Decision

Since @Marko suggested that HttpPostedFile

is what I went with, I didn't have Server.Web

in my resources for this project, which was what was turning me off.

Try using the below code so you don't have to worry about the path or any other security issue.



[HttpPost]
       public ActionResult Upload(HttpPostedFileBase file)
       {
           if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
           {
               var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);



               file.SaveAs(path);
           }
        }
