postedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("./") & filename) is the way to go man.

You can also use Request.PhysicalApplicationPath to get the physical path of the application root. (i.e., C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySite\, or whatever).

A must-read article on paths is Rick Strahl's blog entry Making Sense of ASP.NET Paths.

Welcome to ASP.NET

Take a look at the server.mappath() method.

To upload a file to a shared hosting server, you need to know the absolute path where your website lives, this will accomplish that for you. :)

It returns a string like c:\inetpub\wwwroot\account0010101\shared\....

Thats just an example of course.

Hello. I'm new to ASP.Net and am learning asp.net 1.1 with vb. I bought a book and made a working .aspx page that will upload to my own computer's hard drive. Since I'm trying to learn this for websites that will be published on shared hosting I need help to alter the code so that it'll upload to a folder on my website rather than my own C:\ drive.

Fpr example if my website name/folder is "WEBSITE" and the folder I want to upload the images is "imagesup"

Here's the code I'm using:

<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="iso-8859-1" %>

<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub Upload(s As Object, e As EventArgs)
If Not (txtUpload.PostedFile Is Nothing) Then
Dim postedFile = txtUpload.PostedFile
Dim filename As String = Path.GetFileName(postedFile.FileName)

  postedFile.SaveAs("c:\" & filename)
  lblMessage.Text = "File has been uploaded"
End If
End Sub
</script>

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" runat="server">
<p><input id="txtUpload" type="file" runat="server" />
     </p>
   <p><input id="btnUpload" type="button" value="Upload" OnServerClick="Upload" runat="server" />
     </p>   <p><asp:Label id="lblMessage" runat="server" /></p>
