you can specify the location
Field('name','upload',uploadfolder='...')
You should not specify your own filename.
The filename is generated so that:
1) is unique
2) is safe
3) upon download web2py can efficiently find the table, record and
field the file belongs to and figure out a) where the file is located;
b) who can access to the file
4) the uuid contains the original name encoded and they is used to set
the content disposition upon download.
