Hi ,

When you use '@' at first of a string literal, you don't need to use escape character ('\') so rewrite code as below:

string path = (@"C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\filename");
//OR
string path = ("C:\\Users\\xxxx\\Desktop\\filename");

hi,

replace \ with \\ in your code or else simply use

fileUpload1.SaveAs(@"10.129.1.20\file" + SPic1);

You most likely cannot do this. FileUpload control will be looking for a physical path, not an IP or network share. You'll need to come up with another mechanism to save the file outside the FileUpload control. Also, that server will need to have the appropriate permissions to allow the user the web application runs on to access it. If you're not using a domain controller, this can be difficult since the security context may not be able to pass to the other machine.
