Question

I am using the below code to Upload an Image file to a SharePoint Document Library. The code works fine locally but once deployed to server, i get the Exception as file not found.

                String fileToUpload = FlUpldImage.PostedFile.FileName; //@"C:\Users\admin.RSS\Desktop\Photos\me_skype.jpg";
                String documentLibraryName = "SiteAssets";
                if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileToUpload))
                    throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found.", fileToUpload);

                SPFolder myLibrary = web.Folders[documentLibraryName];

                // Prepare to upload
                Boolean replaceExistingFiles = true;
                String fileName = CheckStringNull(txtFirstName.Text) + CheckStringNull(txtLastName.Text) + CheckDateNull(txtDOB) + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileToUpload); ;
                if (fileName.Contains('/'))
                {
                    fileName = fileName.Replace("/", "");
                }
                if (fileName.Contains(':'))
                {
                    fileName = fileName.Replace(":", "");
                }
                FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(fileToUpload);
                //Upload document
                SPFile spfile = myLibrary.Files.Add(fileName, fileStream, replaceExistingFiles);
                string url = site.ToString() + "/" + spfile.ToString();
                if (url.Contains("="))
                {
                    url = url.Split('=')[1];
                }
                //Commit
                myLibrary.Update();

The string fileupload contains URL as C:\Users\admin.RSS\Desktop\Photos\me.jpg This URL is actually the client system and the server side code throws exception as file not found. How to handle this issue?

UPDATE:

I removed the lines of code that checks if the file exists and now i get the exeption on FileStream fileStream = File.OpenRead(fileToUpload); as c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\20120605_133145.jpg cold not be found

Kindly help. Thank You

Saving the file physically onto server and than working on the same helped me resolve my issue.
