ASP.NET/VB.NET FileUpload Control

Question

I have a problem with FileUpload, when I select a file from the local machine, it will not bring the real path of the file, it will use the path for the project files and assume

Answer 1

The problem is you're trying to read in the PostedFile as a local file (on the web server), not from the HttpPostedFile object attached to the FileUploader.

Try:

Dim objFileStream As System.IO.Stream = FU.PostedFile.InputStream
Dim bFile(objFileStream.Length) As Byte
objFileStream.Read(bFile, 0, objFileStream.Length)

Answer 2

I tried something, and it worked..

            FU.SaveAs("C:\" & FU.FileName)

            '--------------------------
            ' set up request...

            Dim LocFile As String = FU.PostedFile.FileName
            Dim clsRequest As System.Net.FtpWebRequest = DirectCast(System.Net.WebRequest.Create("MyFTP.com" & LocFile), System.Net.FtpWebRequest)

            clsRequest.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password")
            clsRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile

It worked.. simply saved the file from FU (FileUpload) to C:\ and then setting the address to always start at C:\
