Answer 1

The path you are saving to is a relative URL. You need to save to a local file path (or full network path).

Try:

string relativePath = @"~\images\"+ i + Path.GetExtension(fu1.FileName);
fu1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(relativePath));

(Path.GetExtension(string) will handle file extensions that aren't 3 characters too)
