You can use the MasterPage control’s FindControl method to find the FileUpload control within the Content page.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    ContentPlaceHolder content = Page.Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1") as ContentPlaceHolder;    
    FileUpload fu = content.FindControl("FileUpload1") as FileUpload;
    //...
}
