Server.MapPath("~")

[Guest]

txtUpload1.PostedFile.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~") + "\\" + file1.Name);

this code loads the file in the root directory of my application, by using
the tilde. How do I accomplish getting the file to loaded above root. My
application is within another applilcation (subdomain). I guess I am looking
the .net equivalent to .. in unix.

Thanks.

Hello

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName returns the parent directory of a file or
directory.

Best regards,

The .Net equivalent to ".." is ".."

The problem is, .Net will not let you access a directory outside of your
application.

Imagine that you website is on a shared server at a web hosting
provider. Allowing you to do what you are trying here, could let you hack
other people's website.

James is Right,

..Net will now allow u to access outside from your VD. and i think you are
trying to go one directory up then your root Directory.

Thanks
