Problem With Paths on Server

I am having a problem attempting to upload a file using the HtmlInputFile control. Using the control I can successfully browse to the file on my local machine but when I try to upload it to one of my directories I always get the error:

Could not find a part of the path "E:\web\westernband\htdocs\lineups\"

If I open an FTP application I see the "lineups" directory directly under my root (westernband) but apparently Server.Mappath returns a different result? The code I use to determine the path is:




uploadedfile.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("\lineups\" & newfilename))





I am not sure why there is the "htdocs" directory in that path and I am wondering if that is the problem?





How should I code this?

See if this works for you:

Dim strFileName as string = File1.PostedFile.FileName
' upload path and file
dim UploadFile as string = Server.MapPath('\lineups\' & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFileName)
File1.PostedFile.SaveAs(UploadFile)

Note 'File1' is the id of the Input field for the file name.

 

Thanks for the response. I'll give that approach a try.
