Actual file path when using UI FileUpload

[Former Member]

I want to read the actual file path so that I can archive the file.

The issue is when I am using UI Element Fileupload, it always shows C:\fakepath\filename.txt in filename property of UI.

Is there a way I can get the actual file path or what is alternative ?

I have tried this but still I don't get the actual file path.

I get "C:\fakepath\demo1.txt" in file name.

UI Fileupload takes correct path for uploading the file.But when you read the Node Attribute, it shows only File Name and not complete path.so workaround would be:

1 .you can save the file to upload in 'D' Drive in specific folder. And in the coding file name is concatenated with 'D:' to create complete file path.
2.  Uplaod the file in table and then read the complete path of the file

Hope this will help
