Accepted answer
If web, you shouldn't use URL path for IO operations, but use normal file path, which should relate to your root folder i.e. if root folder is "wwwroot", create a new folder "zip" under it. Then use "HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~")" to get the full file path to your root folder
Then you append your "zip" folder name in that path e.g. Path.Combine(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~"), "zip")

NB: You should give proper read/write access to this new "zip" folder.

finally i have done with the follwoing code

c#
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (fileUpload1.HasFile) { string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName); string path = Server.MapPath("~/Zip/SampleFiles/" + filename); string path1 = Server.MapPath("~/Zip/ExtractFiles/" + filename); fileUpload1.SaveAs(path); ExtractZipFile(path, path1); if ((System.IO.File.Exists(path))) { System.IO.File.Delete(path); } lbltxt.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully"; } } private void ExtractZipFile(string zipFileLocation, string destination) { using (Ionic.Zip.ZipFile zip = new Ionic.Zip.ZipFile(zipFileLocation)) { zip.ExtractAll(destination); //zip.Save(destination); } }
the above code is working exacyly as well as live server

You need to use a path relative to your application root path. Is it .NET .exe or IIS host?
