Copy file from one folder to another folder

Question

I am working on website in which i want to copy the file from my application folder to other folder on same server (But this folder is out of my application folder i.e. my application on C driver and the destination folder is on D drive).Is this possible using any functionality of Asp.Net?

Thanks in advance.

YES it's possible, the only concern that you have to watch for is that the CopyTo path should be the full path, not the relative one (ex: c:\websites\myOtherFolder).

this way, you can successfully copy/move the file from your ASP.NET code.

below is a pseudo code to show you how to get it done (assuming that the file has been placed on the root folder of your ASP.NET Application).

 using System.IO;
    ..
    ..
    ..



// Get the current app path:
var currentApplicationPath =  HttpContext.Current.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath;

//Get the full path of the file    
var fullFilePath = currentApplicationPath + fileNameWithExtension;

// Get the destination path
var copyToPath = "This has to be the full path to your destination directory. 
                  Example d:\myfolder";

// Copy the file
File.Copy(fullFilePath , copyToPath );
