How to get the path of a file (Httppostedfilebase)?

Question

I would like to get the path(path) from where my file is coming from.

Model:

    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Selecione o arquivo a ser importado.")]
    [Display(Name = "Arquivo ")]
    public HttpPostedFileBase Arquivo { get; set; }

View:

@Html.LabelFor(a => a.Arquivo)
@Html.TextBoxFor(a => a.Arquivo, new { type = "file", name="Arquivo" })

I appreciate all the answers.

Assuming a Action of Controller, you can get the file as follows:

    private const String DiretorioCurriculos = "~/Curriculos/";

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<ActionResult> EnviarCurriculo([Bind(Include = "CurriculoCandidatoId,NomeCandidato,Email,TelefoneContato,TelefoneCelular,ArquivoCurriculo,SetorPreterido,Comentarios")] CurriculoCandidato curriculoCandidato)
    {
        if (curriculoCandidato.Arquivo != null && curriculoCandidato.Arquivo.ContentLength > 0)
        {
            string nomeArquivo = Regex.Replace(curriculoCandidato.NomeCandidato + "-" + Path.GetFileName(curriculoCandidato.Arquivo.FileName), @"\s+", "");
            string caminho = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(DiretorioCurriculos), nomeArquivo);
            curriculoCandidato.Arquivo.SaveAs(caminho);

            curriculoCandidato.CaminhoArquivoCurriculo = nomeArquivo;
        }

        ...

Arquivo is the type HttpPostedFileBase.

You can also manipulate bytes directly through the property InputStream.

The file doesn’t exactly have one path. The file is usually in the body of the request, through a sequence of bytes.
