And the error would be?? You'll find that in the Application event log on the server.
Chances are good that you're using the default account to run your app on the server and it doesn't have write permissions to any folder on the server.

the error is don't save image in folder ,
but I can read from folders normally how can I know I have permissions or not?

That's the not the error message. Everybody is going to want the EXACT error message from the event log. Otherwise we're just guessing at what the problem is.

The SaveAs method is configured to require a rooted path, and the path " " is not rooted

The path that's sent to SaveAs must start with a drive letter (C:\) or UNC (\\server\share\) identifier. The path you're getting back apparently does do that. You'll have to examine the content of fullPath, either in the debugger or by output it to a log file somewhere to see what you're getting.
