everytime you select a file in a file-selection box in a field of a plugin
this selected file is copied to a special area (and because of clearness may
be renamed).
afterwards only the filename is stored in the record.
you get this file (independend of deletion/renaming of the original file) in
the path /uploads/tx_<extension>/ (maybe in a further subdirectory like
media/

use your ftp-client to explore the directory structure.:-)
