To get the original filename, use the .retrieve() method instead of manually constructing the file path and opening the file: filename, stream = db.name.file.retrieve(a.file) db.name.insert(..., file=db.name.file.store(stream, filename)) Also, your use of a.file implies the upload field is named "file", but in your insert code, you use "file_up" -- not sure which is correct.
