Answer 1

And if the HTML code has identical multiple inputs like this one below:-

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Expanding on @treeface's answer, the Jquery code (current version 1.8.0) would be:

$('input[type=text]').click(function() {
    $(this).parent(".item")
        .find('input[type=file]')
        .trigger('click');
});

$('input[type=file]').change(function() {
    $(this).parent(".item")
        .find('input[type=text]')
        .val($(this).val());
});​

Do take note between $parents() and $parent() in jQuery. Try it out @ http://jsfiddle.net/afxDC/
