I am attempting to upload an image to my IIS 7 server, but it is coming out corrupted. The same code works on a local instance through Visual Studio.

Local headers:

Here is my upload method that is called by the upload form:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadPhoto(object qqfile)
{
    // Get current logged in user
    var currentUser = _staffRepository.StaffMembers.First(p => p.Login == User.Identity.Name.Replace("Domain\\", ""));

    var length = Request.ContentLength;
    var bytes = new byte[length];
    Request.InputStream.Read(bytes, 0, length);
    // bytes has byte content here. what do do next?

    var fileName = currentUser.Login + ".jpg";

    var saveToFileLoc = string.Format("{0}\\{1}",
                                   Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/uploads"),
                                   fileName);

    // save the file.
    var fileStream = new FileStream(saveToFileLoc, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
    fileStream.Write(bytes, 0, length);
    fileStream.Close();

    return new RedirectResult("MyProfile");
}

If it is relevant I am using this File Uploader

The image comes out on the remote server as all NUL bytes. Any assistance is appreciated.
