I suspect the root of your problem is controversy between absolute path and relative path. You need to keep almost all of the absolute path except the volume. This is simply the same as relative path but relative to the volume root.

Using both relative and absolute approached in code is wrong. Please see my recent answer where I explain the idea how to work with file paths:
How to access a file from html folder of root directoty[^].

Hope it can help you.

Well, you were trying to save the file in absolute path. But if you need to save it relative path, you need to create a folder in your web site or you need to use your root folder of the web site. I put some code snippet that may need to look it.

C++

string path = Server.MapPath("~");// Maps the root web site folder

C++

string path = Server.MapPath("~/LogFile");// Will map a folder name called LogFile in your website.

I hope this will help you well.
