  • Server.MapPath expect you to pass-in relative path (which is something like "~/customerticket/1234.jpg"), it wont work on absolute url - check out documentation. Also note grabbing fields directly from FormCollection is bad mvc design - you should have strongly-typed model instead. – Ondrej Svejdar Oct 19 '16 at 11:26
  • Thanx Ondrej, what is say, actually my main domain is made on asp.net but my sub domain is made on mvc 4. so, i have to use upload url like http://xyz/myfoldername/demo.jpg then how could i use "~/customerticket/1234.jpg" ? – Amar Oct 19 '16 at 11:34

Server.MapPath only works on the same application. If you want to upload your file elsewhere, there are at least 3 ways:

  1. Put it on the directory that original domain could access and just read from there (it is easier if it is the same server);
  2. Upload directly to your another application using web services;
  3. Upload it to another server's FTP/sftp.
