Hello,

For security reasons modern browsers will not send the full file path along with the name. Though IE-8 will still give you a full fake path. From the server side generally it should not really mater. Many of the times the client side path may not even exists on the server side and even if it exists there can be a permission issue. Generally you will use your own directory structure on the server side to store such files.

Regards,
