  File upload using HTTP POST to upload local file.

  Jan 04, 2013 04:03 AM|LINK

  Hi.

  I am creating a file uploader tool to upload a file to a file server using HTTP POST. My tool is running on IIS web server and my file server is another IIS server. Now I am browsing a file using the uploader and temporarily storing on my IIS machine [where the application runs ] and from there I am posting to the File Server. 

  Is there any way that I can directly POST the file from any machine to File Server, without storing it in my IIS[application] server.

  I want to use a web tool only. No console, form...

  thanks in advance..

  from file upload control, u can directly store the file on to the remote server (file server)

  FileUpload1.SaveAs("\\remoteServerName\FolderName\" + filename);

  however, u need to make sure that current user running the web site in iss (aspnet_wp) has the access permission on remote file server

  refer this to understand the access tweak

  Hi KK, Thanks for ur time.. 

  I am able to save like this, But my Fileserver is not a network share. It is a remote IP , in internet. I just have a script running on there to receive the POST and write the file into file server.

  Hope u got the situation,.

  oh.. in that case, u should use WebClient class's uploadfile method
