The default account your code runs under doesn't have network access, you need to change the anonymous IIS account to one that has the required access. Google for how to do that.

It's denied because the remote computer doesn't set permissions allowing you (the user on the webserver, which is probably an IIS login rather than a "real" user) to write files to that folder.

Check the permissions on the folder, or if you are doing this often, connect a drive letter to the shared folder (supplying the appropriate login details) and save direct to that disk instead of relying on the IP address each time.

At localhost its working fine but only problem at IIS gives error: access denied ..Also Create a network drive connection to the remote machine(so it appears to remote computer as "Z:\) but same error occurred ...

No, you need to set up the drive on the computer running your website: the computer running IIS, not on the "remote computer" on 172.20.2.50 - and give the appropriate permissions when you set up the drive connection.

Your approach seems correct for saving a file to a shared folder on a network computer using ASP.NET. However, there are a couple of adjustments that you might need to make:

UNC Path Format: The UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path should be specified using double backslashes (\\) instead of forward slashes (//). The UNC path format should look like \\computername\sharedfolder.

File Path Formatting: Ensure that the file path is correctly formatted. In your case, you're using //// at the beginning, which is unnecessary. You only need two backslashes at the beginning for a UNC path.

Here's the corrected version of your code:

C#

protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (FileUpload1.HasFile)
    {
        string filename = FileUpload1.FileName;
        string filepath = @"\\172.20.2.50\sharedfolder\" + filename;
        
        FileUpload1.SaveAs(filepath);
    }
}

In this code snippet:

FileUpload1.FileName is used to get the name of the uploaded file.
@"\\172.20.2.50\sharedfolder\" specifies the UNC path to the shared folder on the network computer.
FileUpload1.SaveAs(filepath) saves the uploaded file to the specified path.
Ensure that the account under which your ASP.NET application runs has the necessary permissions to write to the shared folder on the network computer. Additionally, make sure that the network path is accessible from the web server hosting your ASP.NET application.
