File Uploading using Server.MapPath() and FileUpload.SaveAs()

Question

I have a website admin section which I\'m busy working on, which has 4 FileUpload controls for specific purposes. I need to know that , when I use the Server.MapPath()

Answer 1

yes, that can be used after saving file and when you try retrieve that file...

Server.MapPath("~/Images/Logos/" + uploadedFileName);

Answer 2

It's one line of code:

 FileUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(" ")+"\\YourImageDirectoryOnServer\\"+FileUpload1.FileName);

Answer 3

• If you intend to save the files in a directory on your web server , then the Server.MapPath() will be the suitable solution.

  string dirPath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~") + "/Images/Logos/"+ fileBreak[0] + counter.ToString() + "." + fileBreak[1];

  Look Here

• if you intend to save your files out the web server then

  Use a full path, like "c:\uploads" and be sure that the web process has permission to write to that folder,I suggest you store the path itself in the web.config file in this case.

Answer 4

Yes it should still work as Server.MapPath uses the relative values and returns the complete physical path.
