Directory Not Found Exception...yet I can browse to the directory?

In my asp.net page I'm making a copy of a file from my local drive to the server.

'append the name to the id number and generate the file name
strFileName = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("strAttachmentsPath") & l.ToString & "_" & CType(Session("FileName"), String)
'upload the file
'FileUpload1.SaveAs(strFileName)

System.IO.File.Copy(CType(Session("Attachment"), String), strFileName, True)

strFileName contains a server path like "\\myServer\images\theNewFileName.jpg" Session("Attachment") contains my local path 'C:\Users\myUser\Desktop\AccountsFrance.txt'

But when I run this code asp.net throws an exception:

But I can browse to this file easily.... I dont understand why this is happening :(

Assuming permissions are set for Network Service to write the destination directory, do a

strFileName = Server.MapPath(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("strAttachmentsPath") & l.ToString & "_" & CType(Session("FileName"), String))

to the directory and see if you still get the permissions problem.

Also, what is the value of Session("Attachment") ? That needs to be a file path on the server, not the user's side. Typically, in upload scenarios, you take the byte[] from the upload control and write it to a stream on the server. You could then take that file path and copy it somewhere else.
