I am trying to upload a file using file upload control but it is showing error: Path error. I am using this piece of code:

C#

string fn;
                if ((FileUploadfacImage.PostedFile != null) && (FileUploadfacImage.PostedFile.ContentLength > 0))
                {
                    fn = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUploadfacImage.PostedFile.FileName);
                    string savelocation = Server.MapPath("Attachment/FacultyImages") + "/" + fn;
                    FileUploadfacImage.PostedFile.SaveAs(savelocation);
                    lblmsg.Visible = true;
                    lblmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
                    lblmsg.Text = "Image Uploaded Successfully !!!";
                }
                else
                {
                    lblmsg.Visible = true;
                    lblmsg.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
                    lblmsg.Text = "Image not Uploaded  !!!";
                }

Now the problem is that when i am running my application on local host its working well and good but after publishing and uploading my website on server file upload doesn't work. Why it is so...

Dear Friend,

It may be due to the permission settings on the particular folder in which you want to upload the file. Read Write permission is to be set up. Follow the links, might be helpful to you:-

Dear Friend, In order to upload the files on the server sometimes extra privileges has to be given to the folder. Please refer to this link it might be helpful to you http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727008.aspx

Check once whether you are getting that saved folder(FacultyImages) in your published files.

I think that folder is not exist in your published files.

There are two places the permissions need to fixed at for upload to work:
1. IIS on the folder you want to upload you need to check the allow write check box
2. right click the actual folder in file explorer and allow everyone to write to this folder. Please remember the web user is a low permission user IIS_ somthing.
