FileUpload in ASP.NET, what is the path of the uploaded file.

I have a problem in uploading a file in ASP.NET web application. I am not able to get the correct physical path of a file in hard drive.

I have tried using Server.Mappath(fileupload.postedfile.filename) and path.GetFullPath(fileupload.postedfile.filename).

Both are pointing the wrong path. How could I solve this issue?

Try using below code .

Server.MapPath("~/Files") returns an absolute path based on a folder relative to your application

protected void UploadFile(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    string folderPath = Server.MapPath("~/Files/");

    //Check whether Directory (Folder) exists.
    if (!Directory.Exists(folderPath))
    {
        //If Directory (Folder) does not exists. Create it.
        Directory.CreateDirectory(folderPath);
    }

    //Save the File to the Directory (Folder).
    FileUpload1.SaveAs(folderPath + Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName));

    //Display the success message.
    lblMessage.Text = Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.FileName) + " has been uploaded.";
}

Check is performed whether the Folder (Directory) exists. If it does not then the Folder (Directory) is created.

Then the uploaded File is saved into the Folder (Directory).

You get the uploaded file as a Stream on the server. you should save it on the disk and then use it (or use the Stream directly).
