Uploading files: Setting the value of "name" to be the file name

I have created an upload form and want to keep track of the files that I have uploaded.

    <form action="http://localhost:5000/add_csv_to_db" method='POST' enctype="multipart/form-data">
      <input type="file" name="csv_file" accept="*">
      <input type="submit">
    </form>

I have control of both client/server and this is just for my own use.

Is there a way to set name="csv_file" to be the name of the file? I have 100+ files I need to upload and want to keep track of which ones I've uploaded.

Thanks!

Found the answer

if 'csv_file' not in request.files:
    return 'didnt work'
f = request.files['csv_file']
print(f.filename)

There is no need for this. multipart/form-data includes the file-name in the MIME-part header.

In ASP.NET, it's exposed via the HttpPostedFileBase.FileName property: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httppostedfilebase.filename(v=vs.110).aspx
