[Typo3-dev] Handling of Uploads (BE and Ext)

[Sebastian Fastner]

Hi,

how are uploads handled in Typo3?
My problem: I created an extension that uses an file-upload-field. In 
the db only the filenames are stored when I upload an file via typo3 be. 
Now if I select an other file (in an other directory) Typo3 stores also 
only the filename or a "magic name". If I upload a file with the same 
name it stores filename_1 or something similar into the db.

How can I translate these magic names to real filenames?

Thanks a lot,
  Sebastian
