Check the value of this: Server.MapPath("~/C:/OUTBOUND/"

Is there a c:/ in your server.
Do you have folder name C:/OUTBOUND in your server.
Might be this line string strURL = Server.MapPath(@"~/C:/OUTBOUND/" + FileName + "");

seems to be wrong.

Why would you expect that to work?

C#

string strURL = Server.MapPath(@"~/C:/OUTBOUND/" + FileName + "");

That requests a relative path to the root of your website "~" followed by an absolute disk reference. That's like saying:

C:\My Documents\C:\Program Files

As a path, it doesn't make any sense.

For a website, you would not normally try to specify an absolute path at all: because where your site is stored is at the discretion of IIS / the hosting service administrator. Try just the relative path:

C#

string strURL = Server.MapPath(@"~/OUTBOUND/" + FileName + "");

That should work.
