How to save image name and image foldername into database giving physical path i.e www.xyz.com in asp.net mvc

But i am getting error like: The SaveAs method is configured to require a rooted path, and the path is not rooted.

If it is same server url then it works fine no issue,but i want to save image file to another server url and in that image folder.

What I have tried:

 [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult streetstyle(FormCollection frm, HttpPostedFileBase Upload)
        {
string ImageName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Upload.FileName);
            string physicalPath = "http://www.xyz.com/" + "/ImagesFolder/" + ImageName;
            Upload.SaveAs(physicalPath);

            db.Name = frm["Name"];
            db.Email = frm["Email"];
            db.Mobile = frm["Mobile"];

            db.Image = ImageName;

Take a moment and think about what is happening. This code is running on your server. And SaveAs needs a physical path to a folder. So, instead do something like this:

C#

String physicalPath = Server.MapPath("~/ImagesFolder/"); // this will resolve to c:\inetpub\wwwroot\app1\imagesFolder or wherever the actual drive is.

Then just store ImageName into the db.
