Re: FileUpload

[I've just answered the same question in the Advanced .NET list but I'm
replying here too for readers convenience.]

Hi Lior,

Please avoid cross posting...

To save the content of your uploaded file you could simply bypass the
checks performed by the SaveAs() method and manually persist its data.
Here's a short code fragment (C#):

using (FileStream stream = new
FileStream("\\computerName\sharedPath\test.bin", FileMode.Create))
FileUpload1.InputStream.WriteTo(stream);

Also pay attention to the fact that volume shares (C$, D$, etc) are by
default visibile to administrators only, if I recall correctly.
Hope this helps.
