Let me get it straight: the method is called on server side, so the file is also on the server side, right?
And path is the full path, right?
And the path is within the site's root directory, right?

Can you let me know how the 'Path' variable value is set? What does it point out? Please provide more information with code if possible.

Try checking it with

C#

Server.MapPath("your path here")

Have a look at this article here[^].

Solution 2

Try this.

string FilePath = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "FileName.txt";

Request.PhysicalApplicationPath will give you the virtual directory's absolute path.
