How to get phisical path (required_folder) to virtual folder? Current folder and required_folder are phisical pathes of different root virtual folders; folder and required_folder are in the same root phisical folder.
The next code didn't help:

C#

string folder = Server.MapPath(""); // get current folder
folder = folder.Substring(0, folder.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1) + "required_folder"; // get required folder

Sorry for mistake in formulation, I mean some another: current folder and required_folder are phisical pathes of different root virtual folders; folder and required_folder are in the same root phisical folder.

Thanks.

I had no permissions to read and to write to required_folder (problems with hosting). Now I have permissions and all is OK.

Solution 1

Assuming that required_folder is part of the current web application path,

C#

string folder = Server.MapPath("~/required_folder/");

will return the physical path of the required_folder folder.
