Hi Farhan, Thank you for your effort in trying to get this resolved. I tried what you suggested, but no luck. Are there any other requirements besides those two in order for the plugin to work?

The code that you write to save the specified file should call the SaveAs method, which saves the contents of a file to a specified path on the server. Typically, the SaveAs method is called in an event-handling method for an event that raises a post back to the server. For example, if you provide a button to submit a file, the code to save the file to the server could then be included inside the event-handling method for the click event.

When you call the SaveAs method, you must specify the full path of the directory on the server in which to save the uploaded file. If you do not explicitly specify a path in your application code, an HttpException exception is thrown when a user attempts to upload a file.

This behavior helps keep the files on the server secure, by not allowing users to specify a path in which to save the files that they upload. Before calling the SaveAs method, you should use the HasFile property to verify that the FileUpload control contains a file to upload. If the HasFile returns true , call the SaveAs method.

If it returns false , display a message to the user indicating that the control does not contain a file. If you do not provide error-handling code to verify that a file exists, an attempt to save a nonexistent file throws an HttpException exception. NET application must have write access to the directory on the server.

There are two ways that the application can get write access. You can explicitly grant write access to the account under which the application is running, in the directory in which the uploaded files will be saved. Alternatively, you can increase the level of trust that is granted to the ASP. NET application. To get write access to the executing directory for the application, the application must be granted the AspNetHostingPermission object with the trust level set to the AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.

You cant view the path of the file on the users computer. This is a security feature and is left out on purpose to protect users. Posted Jul am DominicZA. You can't get it without uploading, and you often can't get it WITH uploading.

The other thing to remember is, if you had a path on the client machine, there is not a thing you could do with it, you'd have no access to it. Posted Jul am Christian Graus. You cannot access the users desktop from the brower. It is a security risk. The browser will allow you to read files to upload only. The only way you could achieve this is using flash or a browser plugin that is not constrained but the browsers security sandbox. Posted Jul am Orcun Iyigun. Posted Jul am suniltikli.
