which browser are you using.. Had the same issue in FF but worked in chrome. Upgrading the FF fixed the issue. — StrikerVillain, Oct 16 '15 at 21:47

You are trying to upload the file in a wrong way. You have to use a sendkeys command for the file upload input tag.

driver.findElement(By. Id("Filename1") ) .sendKeys("/path/to/the/file")
