What error you get?
Is there write permission set on C:\UploadFile for application user?

Hi,

got error

Instead always tell which error you have. More likely the account under which your app runs is not allowed to write to this folder. Depending on your config see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities#securing-resources to grant access to this folder.

BTW most often I'm not using the file client side name. For example if another user (or the same) upload another file named the same way it would be overwritten.
