Upload File from Client to server

I have an asp.net web application. In this section I have an UploadFile and Button to upload a file from a client PC to a Web Server. This works on localhost where the server and client are the same, but I need for this to work on the production server with a PC connecting from the internet.

<input ID="UploadFile" runat="server" name="UploadFile" type="file" />
 
<asp:imagebutton id="bttnUpload" runat="server" ImageUrl="~/_images/Upload.jpg"></asp:imagebutton>
 
 
 
Protected Sub bttnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles bttnUpload.Click
   
 
                Dim myFile As New FileInfo(UploadFile.Value)
 
                'Set server location where file will be uploaded to.
                Dim pathToCopy = Server.MapPath("~/Files/Docs/CRM/" & Session("CompCode") & "/Leads/")
                
    'Check whether location has been created. Manually set write permissions to the directory.
                If Not Exists(pathToCopy) Then
                    CreateDirectory(pathToCopy)
                End If
 
                'Copy file from client to the server?
                If myFile.Exists = True Then
                    myFile.CopyTo(pathToCopy & myFile.Name, True)
                Else
                	'Message file not found  exit.
                End If
 
 
End Sub

I am not sure whether you actually looked at my code.! I have looked at the link and spent the last 45 mins replicating that info.

Apart from minor syntax changes there is not much that is fundamentally different.

The problem I have shown at the end of my code as the error also appears on this one.

I have looked at a number of links on this issue so it would be useful to get someone to actually look at the code provided rather than just sending another link. I am sure an experts review of my code will actually reveal what is missing. A link that supports an actual answer is of course useful.

I don't see any Error in the posted code except for the text ERROR.

ERROR
File Doc6.txt not found at specified location. i.e C:\WINDOWS\system32

The file's physical location on the client pc is C:\Temp\Doc6.txt

This exception message shows that uploadFile is looking for Doc6.txt in a different location i.e C:\WINDOWS\system32

Does this help?

I have used the link provided by Junges and reframed all the statements as suggested by CB and this now works as desired.

Thanks.
