Exploiting the shell-escape,
\immediate\write18{echo "\string\gdef\string\pwd{$PWD}" > pwd.tex}
%%
%% write the current working directory to pwd.tex
%%
\IfFileExists{pwd.tex}{\input pwd}{\gdef\pwd{.}}
%%
%% read pwd.tex and stores the current path in \pwd
%% In case, for any reason pwd.tex is not written
%% \pwd is defined to {.}, so that LaTeX doesn't
%% complain during the run
\pwd/\jobname.tex
This should give you the path and file name. Use this in the
appropriate position in
\@oddfoot
\@evenfoot
macros.
The LaTeX run shall be:
latex -shell-escpe <file>
