A filename is simply a unique identifier for any file... It used to be limited to 11 characters plus a three character extension (for example computer.com) - Advances in programming now allows over 200 characters in a file name.

File names are used to identify one file from another. For example: 'poopnuts.jpg' "Poopnuts" would be the file name, whereas ".jpg" would be the file extension.
