Yes, you can use WebClient class or directly UploadFile method in My
namespace as follows:

My.Computer.Network.UploadFile("c:\textfile.txt", _
"http://myIntranet/mySubdir/textfile.txt", "username", "password")

For other overloads of UploadFile method, see:

Then it's related to a server-side issue. Try to troubleshoot by

Hi,
As an additional and quick troubleshoot info, you can try to
initialize a NetworkCredential object and uploadfile using WebClient's
UploadFile method. You "may" need to define "PUT" method explictly to
make server accept incoming file as follows

Use that:

//////////////
Imports System.Net

Try
Using webclient As New WebClient
webclient.Credentials = _
New NetworkCredential("username", "mypassword")

webclient.UploadFile _
("http://myIntranet/mySubdir", "PUT", "c:\textfile.txt")
End Using

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message)

End Try
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\


Please let us know the result,

Quick correction for specifying exact destination file path followed
by file name:

' See UploadFile method's first parameter.

Try this finally:
//////////////
Imports System.Net

Try
Using webclient As New WebClient
webclient.Credentials = _
New NetworkCredential("username", "mypassword")

webclient.UploadFile _
("http://myIntranet/mySubdir/textfile.txt", "PUT", "c:\textfile.txt")
End Using

Catch ex As Exception

MsgBox(ex.Message)

End Try
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Hope this finally helps,

Hello Filip,

You cannot upload files directly to a remote directory via HTTP without
implementing a service to take care of this. There are two solutions to this
problem that you might want to look into:

1) Set up an FTP server and an account with permissions to the target
directory. Then you can use an FTP client library to connect to your server
and upload the file. See http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/FtpClient.aspx for
a neat FTP client (with source code, C#).

2) Create a web service that is going to run at your site. It should have a
method accepting a file name and binary data to store in your folder. This
allows for better error handling and is a more advanced implementation than
using FTP. It relies on HTTP and is a software+service platform. After
writing and deploying your code you can add a Web Reference to your desktop
application and just call the method from the web service.
