Modify your looping as like the following:

 foreach (string file in httpRequest.Files)
        {
            var postedFile = httpRequest.Files[file];
            var fileextension =new FileInfo(postedFile.FileName).Extension();
            var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/yourFileName." + fileextension);
            postedFile.SaveAs(filePath);
        }

This might do the trick for you

var filename = postedFile.FileName;
var FileNameOnly  =  Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName);
Var fileExt = Path.GetExtension(fileName);
var ModFileName = FileNameOnly + DateTime.Now + fileExt;
var filePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/" + ModFileName);
postedFile.SaveAs(filePath);
