You don't use a file input control. Server side controls are not used in ASP.NET MVC.

So you would start by creating an HTML form which would contain a file input.

 @using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
    <input type="file" name="file" />
    <input type="submit" value="OK" />
}

and then you would have a controller to handle the upload.

public class HomeController : Controller
        {
            public ActionResult Index()
            {
                return View();
            }
 
            [HttpPost]
            public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase file)
            {
                if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
                {
                    var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);
                    var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/uploads"), fileName);
                    file.SaveAs(path);
                }
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
        }
