Answer 1

When you PostBack to the server you get the data in the file as well as the file name in the FileUpload control.

var fileName = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;

This will give you the fileName part ‘al.avi’. You can display this in a label.

Here is a FileUpload example to get you started.
