  FileUpload1.SaveAs does not work correctly?

  Apr 30, 2012 07:44 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am using the code below to save a file to a network location. It works in development and on the webserver. But if I go to a client machine using my login credentials, the file isnt saved? I have my app pool set to run under my credentials so that should be the issue. Any ideas? Thanks!

  If FileUpload1.HasFile Then
              Try
                  FileUpload1.SaveAs("\\Server\data\Files\" + FileUpload1.FileName)
  
              Catch ex As Exception
  
              End Try
  
          Else
              'Label1.Text = "You have not specified a file."
          End If

  if (FileUpload1.HasFile) {  try {   FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("\\\\Server\\data\\Files\\" + FileUpload1.FileName));
  
   } catch (Exception ex) {
  
   }
  
  } else {  //Label1.Text = "You have not specified a file." }

  Don't make it to the server. When you use the Server.MapPath() it's going to map it to the root folder. You can also try to make sure the mapping is correct and using an @ so that it knows it's a literal path like this below or use a tilde to make sure it maps correctly.

  Server.MapPath(@"c:\\data\\files\\");

  ~/data/files/" + FileUpload1.FileName);

  So would I do Server.MapPath(@\\server\data\files) ?

  Or server.mappath(@"~/data/files/")

  Thank you

  Server.Mappath(@"~/data/files/") if you have a data folder with a files folder at the root of your web application.

  Hi

  You app is runing in IIS? If yes in IIS is configured windows authentication? And this user have permission in you shared folder in the network? This user should write permission.

  I hope this help.

  To save the file, the folder must be shared and the NETWORK SERVICE account should have read/write persmission on the folder.

  Also try be setting impersonation tag in web.config

  Let me know if this resolves your issue

  I have tried all the suggestions no luck. It is uploading the file to a different server then my webserver. The permissions are set and it only saves the file on my development machine. Impersonation is enabled. Not sure what I am missing??

  If FileUpload1.HasFile Then
              Try
  
                  FileUpload1.SaveAs("\\Server\Data\Files\" + FileUpload1.FileName)
  
              Catch ex As Exception
  
              End Try
  
          Else
              'Label1.Text = "You have not specified a file."
          End If

  I changed the share to the webserver and it is working now. I will just go with that.
