What do you need it for? It's uploaded to the server when your code gets it and the path is irrelevant. In fact, some browsers, FireFox and Chrome, will report it at a fake path. It is a security issue for your code to see the structure of a client's hard drive.

C#

System.IO.Path.GetFullPath(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
   Path.GetFileName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
   System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName).ToString();
   Convert.ToString(System.IO.Directory.GetParent(FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName));

write this line on ur code for full path . . use it Server.MapPath

FileUpload1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("download/" + FileUpload1.FileName));

and u want to dir info so write this . .

DirectoryInfo dirinfo = new DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath("IMG/"));

Or:---
If you want the file location in client machine

You can use

string fileLoacation=FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;

imageUpload.PostedFiles[0].SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/CMS_Images/logos.jpg"));

I have just overwritten the existing image(logos) with the uploasded file. It has worked.
