File.CopyTo sends file to complete different directory

osyris zosar

I am trying to upload a image using IFormFile using the following code:

//IWebHostEnvironment _webHost
string FileName = Path.GetTempFileName() + "_" + productsI.HeaderImage.FileName;
string FilePath4 = Path.Combine(_webHost.WebRootPath, "Images", "HeaderImage", FileName);
using (var stream = System.IO.File.Create(FilePath4))
{
await productsI.HeaderImage.CopyToAsync(stream);
}

It should send it to "C:\Users\user\Desktop\Asp_net_core\Webshop\wwwroot\Images\HeaderImage"

instead of that it is sending it to: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp

That file path is not even close to what I have programmed C# to do

Hi,

use this code:
string fullPath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory.ToString();//get base directory
string FileName = Path.GetTempFileName() + "_" + productsI.HeaderImage.FileName;
string FilePath4 = Path.Combine(fullPath , "Images", "HeaderImage", FileName);

using (var stream = System.IO.File.Create(FilePath4))
{
    await productsI.HeaderImage.CopyToAsync(stream);
}

I am not talking about controller permission. I am talking about this path C:\Users\user\Desktop\Asp_net_core\Webshop\wwwroot\Images\HeaderImage is having full permission access or not. Also check first what is the value you are getting in FilePath4. Thanks

The Controller is Authorized
but i am logged in the right account
How do I give full permission?

Hey i think in FilePath4 variable you are not getting the correct filepath. Check by debugging what path you are getting. Also give full permission to the path where you are trying to send that file. Thanks
