ASP.net file upload from a non server - issue with Server.MapPath?

I am trying to upload a file in asp.net using the following code

Dim FileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(ClientFileName) 
MyFile.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/UploadedImportedFiles/" + FileName))

if the file being uploaded (say book1.xls) resides on the machine that is also the server all works perfectly, but if the file resides on a Pc that is not the server it fails on the second line. I think the problem is that Server.MapPath seems to refer to the non server PC when it is uploaded from there.

Thanks

You wrongly getting file name. You should use below code

 string filename = Path.GetFileName(FileUploadControl.FileName);

Of course change control name to your own.
