We don't have access to your host's file system. You should know better where your files are. Just check up everything more thoroughly. There is nothing inherently wrong with your code.

Please see my comment to the question and also remember one more thing: '~' in the path used as an argument to MapPath is the root directory set up for your site, not your host's file system root. And normally you cannot access any files outside your site's root, as your ASP.NET code is executed in sandboxed environment which limits the access to any other file system objects, no matter what permissions are.

Does your application have permissions to perform transactions on the target folder? Most hosts provide a way to set folder permissions, such as read, write, read/write, read/execute, etc. Check the permissions for the folder and see if they need to be modified. While your user account might give you the ability to perform file management activities, your application might not the same rights.
