Hi,

what do you mean by localhost. That's a virtual directory, mapping to some
real one, e.g. http://localhost commonly maps to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot etc.
Just make sure wherever you are uploading, ASP .NET has relevant permission
to do so.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Hello there,
Yes what I mean by localhost is my virtual server which
is located at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot etc. But once I upload
my file to the particular path its always error.
any idea?

Can you post back us what error / exception it throws ?

But once I upload my file to the particular path its always error.

There's very little point posting on a software support newsgroup saying
that you're getting an error if you don't actually tell the group what that
error is...

E.g.

I wrote a method in a C# class yesterday but it kept giving me an error. Can
you tell me what that means and how I can fix it?

It's probably a security issue.
The ASPNET user account must have write permission to the folder.
Or you can use impersonation to have ASP.NET run under a different user
account that does have the necessary permission.

For example, you can add a line similar to this to your web.config file:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="domain\MyUserName">
password="password"/>

Here's more info on impersonation:

Hi there,

this is the error message:
The statement has been terminated. String or binary data
would be truncated
I save it to the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroo\myServer\uploadFolder\xxx.txt
