        {
            lblerror.Text = "select a file to upload";
        }
        else
        {
            try
            {
                string filename = flUpld.FileName;
                find =Request.ApplicationPath;
                flUpld.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(find+"/results/" + filename.Trim()));
                string path = find+"/results/" + filename.Trim();

                if (ChangeData.InsertResult(ddlcategory.SelectedValue.ToString(), ddlsubcategory.SelectedValue.ToString(),
                txttitle.Text, path))
                {

                    lblerror.Text = "sucessfully submitted";
                }
                else

                    lblerror.Text = "try again later ";
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {

Hello Amit,

May be folder named result does not exists on the sever and the ASP.NET user account does not have necessary permissions to create a folder and or save a file in it. Try logging the exception to a log file or event log. it will give you more insight in understanding why it's not happening on remote server.

Regards,

You need to create a service account for your application server as you may not have enough permission to save the file in the server. Then you should use asp.net impersonation with the service account to upload the file to that server. This is exactly how I upload the files in the server.

actually i have given all the permission to folder. and i have discussed to the technicians of that company from i have purchased web space or panel. they told me everything is ok from us. they also told me that we have also provided the all permissions ... but why is this happening . i am not able to solve. if just ask you. that the type of providing path name is that ok with server.. or not... or if any one can customize this code according to suitable for server...
that can be run over the server...

XML

If you know exactly where the file should be stored and if is a constant path, then you can save in the config file or DB. Then you can read the path and append the filename with it and finally save.

in config: <add key="UploadPath" value="\\fsvcsdev5536\App\Files"/>
in code:
string folderPath = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UploadPath"].ToString();
string fileDest = folderPath + "\\" +  fileName.trim();
this.flUpld.SaveAs(fileDest);

server path to upload the file.
