Hello there,
Yes what I mean by localhost is my virtual server which
is located at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot etc. But once I upload
my file to the particular path its always error.
any idea?

It's probably a security issue.
The ASPNET user account must have write permission to the folder.
Or you can use impersonation to have ASP.NET run under a different user
account that does have the necessary permission.

For example, you can add a line similar to this to your web.config file:
<identity impersonate="true" userName="domain\MyUserName">
password="password"/>

Here's more info on impersonation:

And here's another article that may help:

There's very little point posting on a software support newsgroup saying
that you're getting an error if you don't actually tell the group what that
error is...

E.g.

I wrote a method in a C# class yesterday but it kept giving me an error. Can
you tell me what that means and how I can fix it?

Hi,

what do you mean by localhost. That's a virtual directory, mapping to some
real one, e.g. http://localhost commonly maps to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot etc.
Just make sure wherever you are uploading, ASP .NET has relevant permission
to do so.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks

Joyjit

Hi there,

this is the error message:
The statement has been terminated. String or binary data
would be truncated
I save it to the
C:\Inetpub\wwwroo\myServer\uploadFolder\xxx.txt
