Question

i want to ask how to upload my files outside the server (for security issue) i use teleric Rad UploadFiles (ASP.net web application)..the problem that i cannot specify the required path outside the server using the method

server.map("~\..\") to go outside the server i get this

exception Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory.

is there any way to determine a path outside the server

please help..

Answer 1

Use a full path, like "c:\uploads" and be sure that the web process has permission to write to that folder

Answer 2

I think you're running into a problem because of the server.map(..) call, can you not just use a hard coded path (read from config of course). So use something like "C:\UploadedFiles\" You'll need to make sure the user that ASP.NET is running under has the rights to write to that directory, etc.

Answer 3

This is fully covered in the Telerik documentation for this control which can be found here. In brief:

[ASP.NET] RadUpload declaration

<telerik:RadUpload ID="RadUpload1" Runat="server" />
<asp:Button Runat="server" ID="Button1" Text="Submit"
  OnClick="Button1_Click" />

[C#] Click event handler

using Telerik.Web.UI;
...
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  foreach (UploadedFile f in RadUpload1.UploadedFiles)
  {
      f.SaveAs( "c:\\uploaded files\\" + f.GetName(), true);
  }
}
