A .jpg file was read from my hard drive, then saved to my Google Drive. The file saved to my Google Drive had no name. Name=Untitled

How do I create a file with a name, rather than 'untitled'?

You need to provide a File resource as the body of the POST request. The File resource contains a title property which is the file name. If you try https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/insert#try-it you will see the precise format.
