First you don't need to know the filename to open the folder. Calibre has a Click to open link on the book details page that will open the folder for the book you're looking at. I choose to bypass that step by using the Open With plugin to open the book in (for me) Sigil to edit the contents.

I don't have an Ipad, but I don't think I would be manually moving files to it. I think I would be using one of the Send to device setups outlined in the "Calibre + Apple iDevices: Start here" sticky post at the top of the Calibre Devices sub-forum. Using any of the methods described makes worrying about filenames a thing of the past.
