"the name of the file" is ambiguous though.
Is it the full path name of the file? Or the base name?
Can the target choose? [I hope not.]

IWBN to have more clarity here.

While I realize "path" is a term associated with directories
(paths in which to find files), "full path name" is in common
use for complete/absolute file names.
