Renaming local files during upload

Question

I'm trying to upload files or multiple files on a web application using AngularJS and C#

Is it entirely possible to rename the files that were successfully uploaded?

Just to avoid confusion, I want to rename the files on the local drive to have "_done" on their file name as a marker that they have been uploaded already.

Thanks!

What research have you done and what have you tried that isn't working as expected? — charlietfl, Nov 06 '19 at 00:13
I'm using HttpPostedFile, but the filename property only has get and cannot be renamed from there. — PonkieWonkie, Nov 06 '19 at 00:16
`HttpPostedFile` is a server-side concept. You're looking for something client-side. — ProgrammingLlama, Nov 06 '19 at 00:24
Sorry if the answers are vague, I'm only new at this and i'm trying to analyze a made system already. I tried on js-part to access each file before putting each file into a formdata. — PonkieWonkie, Nov 06 '19 at 00:36

JS does not have edit access to the local-filesystem for security reasons.

The only JS solution would be to use node.js but that requires a server or development-server and would not be possible on a public website.
