Uploading Files To Server Path

Question

I have:

Works locally:

string filePath = Server.MapPath("/Content/Images/Profiles/") fileToUpload.SaveAs(filePath);

When I deploy, on my actual web server I have a few issues, and I'm certain it's to do with the path.

The path returned is: C:\\Inetpub\\vhosts\\myhost.com\\httpdocs\\Content\\Images\\Profiles\\TestUser.png

Naturally, I cannot navigate to this path.

What am I missing? Should I explicitly specify the server path eg '\\myhost.com\\httpdocs\\Content\\Images\\Profiles\\'? or stick with 'MapPath'?

Answer 1

Do you have access to the server? I had the same problem and find out that when you publish a project , the empty folders don't created to the server. I recommend you either create manually the folder to the server if you have access or just put some file in the "Profiles" folder so to be created.
