Please am in need of your help, i have an asp.net vb application that allow users to upload excel file to the server. After deploying the application on an IIS server, the upload works well when i upload a file from server but failed when i tried
to upload a file from a client computer. This problem happens with no exception message.

Sounds like a design error. Keep in mind that a web server cannot access files on a client machine. The user must select files and click a submit button.
Rather than making us guess, consider posting code that reproduces the issue so we can see what you're doing.
I notice the upload is actually happening but where it is failing is reading the file and displaying it on the gridview, however everything works well when i do it from the server. Below is my code
Sub Upld()
Dim intFileNameLength As Integer
Dim strFileNamePath As String = ""
''Dim strFileNameOnly As String = ""
Try
'If Not (Myfile.PostedFile Is Nothing) Then
Dim img As FileUpload = CType(Myfile, FileUpload)
If img.HasFile AndAlso Not img.PostedFile Is Nothing Then
Dim File As HttpPostedFile = Myfile.PostedFile
Dim strFileNameOnly As String = Path.GetFileName(Myfile.PostedFile.FileName)
According to your description and codes, I think it may be caused by a permission problem, please try to give the corresponding permissions to the Upload folder. Such as the following.
In addition, I am not clear about your web server environment. It seems your code doesn’t have any problems. Could you please post more details about your problem? such as, how did you see that the file was not uploaded, and the upload code was executed
correctly? Could you please tell me about your IIS environment?

Thank you @Madussarkhan,
I notice the upload is actually happening but where it is failing is reading the file and displaying it on the gridview, however everything works well when i do it from the server. Below is my code

I would remove the Try...Catch. It's not clear what smartobj.alertwindow() does but it might be hiding the actual error.

Hi Abfrank,
According to your description and codes, I think it may be caused by a permission problem, please try to give the corresponding permissions to the Upload folder. Such as the following.
In addition, I am not clear about your web server environment. It seems your code doesn’t have any problems. Could you please post more details about your problem? such as, how did you see that the file was not uploaded, and the upload code was executed correctly? Could you please tell me about your IIS environment?
Look forward to your reply.
Best Regards
Abraham
