This is what you can get:
string path = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName
AFAIR, recent browsers do not pass on the full filepath any more because of security reasons.
 
Have a look at the following discussions on similar topic:
FileUpload loses directory path.[^]
FileUpload.PostedFile.FileName not giving full path in chrome[^]

Thanks SA.
If this is really ASP.NET, and this is a client/server system with a browser, then you can't.
Security will not let you know anything except the name of the file - the client may not even have a file system behind the browser (it could be an internet enabled fridge for all you know) and your server cannot file out anything about whatever is behind it.
