Hi, Start by creating an HTML Form which contains a file input. HTML Form @using (Html.BeginForm( "Index" , "Home" , FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" })) { "file" name= "file" /> "submit" value= "OK" /> } Controller public class HomeController : Controller { // This action renders the form public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } // This action handles the form POST and the upload [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(HttpPostedFileBase file) { // Verify that the user selected a file if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0) { // extract only the filename var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName); // store the file inside ~/App_Data/uploads folder var path = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath( "~/App_Data/uploads" ), fileName); file.SaveAs(path); } // redirect back to the index action to show the form once again return RedirectToAction( "Index" ); } } Hope this solves your problem !
