FileInfo.CopyTo() error

Question

User696431485 posted

Hi

I'm trying to copy some files from my local machine onto the server.

I use this code -

 Dim DocumentsSourcePath As String = String.Format("{0}{1}", System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("DocumentsPath").ToString(), AppId)
 Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(DocumentsSourcePath))
 Dim DocumentsSourcePath As String = String.Format("{0}{1}", System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("DocumentsPath").ToString(), AppId)
 Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(Server.MapPath(DocumentsSourcePath))
 Dim f As FileInfo

 If Directory.Exists(DocumentsSourcePath) Then
                For Each f In dir.GetFiles()
                    f.CopyTo(VirtualPath, True)
                Next
 End If

VirtualPath is something like  \\remoteserver\folder1\folder2\folder3\

DocumentsSourcePath is a folder in the root dir of the application.

The error I get is --

The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

What am I doing wrong?

Got it. 

I was supplying the path in CopyTo() but not the Filename.

it should've been something like this --

file.CopyTo(String.Format("{0}\{1}", Path,  file.Name))
