Hugo provides the ability to traverse your website's files on your server, including the local `Hugo server`. You can access file-system-related data for a piece of content via the `.File` variable.
{{% note "Rendering Local Files" %}}
For information on creating shortcodes and templates that tap into Hugo's file-related feature set, see [Local File Templates](/templates/files/).
{{% /note %}}
The `.File` object contains the following fields:
`.File.Path`
: the original relative path of the page (e.g., `content/posts/foo.en.md`)
`.File.LogicalName`
: the name of the content file that represents a page (e.g., `foo.en.md`)
`.File.TranslationBaseName`
: the filename without extension or optional language identifier (e.g., `foo`)
`.File.BaseFileName`
: the filename without extension (e.g., `foo.en`)
`.File.Ext`
: the file extension of the content file (e.g., `md`); this can also be called using `.File.Extension` as well. Note that it is *only* the extension without `.`.
`.File.Lang`
: the language associated with the given file if Hugo's [Multilingual features][multilingual] are enabled (e.g., `en`)
`.File.Dir`
: given the path `content/posts/dir1/dir2/`, the relative directory path of the content file will be returned (e.g., `posts/dir1/dir2/`)
