FTP.PUT() problem. Please someone help me

Question

I have a web page that has an html file upload object on it. You browse for your file then click a button "Upload"
I keep getting this error message. What could it be?????

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "C:\test.xls". File name: "C:\test.xls" at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String str) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, Boolean useAsync, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy) at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access) at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPClient.Put(String localPath, String remoteFile, Boolean append) at ASP.jobtrackingUpDwn_aspx.FTPtest1() in d:\home\hnt24c232\jobtrackingUpDwn.aspx:line 132

Answer 3

I think the problem is with ofile1.value and, possibly, the local working directory (i.e. on your webserver). The working directory is not always what you expect in ASP.NET applications, so it's much safer to use full path names. If you can't do that then try setting the working directory explicitly before you do any operations on files with relative paths.

Answer 4

What do you mean set the path explicitly. Can you show me an example?

Answer 5

By "setting the working directory explicitly" I meant that you call Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(dirName) to ensure that the working directory is what you want it to be.
