1) That you have specified the directory incorrectly.

2) That the ASP.NET user account doesn't have permissions on the network
folder.

Are you getting any errors.

Thanks Mark Rae,

I am not getting any error, i am checking the directory following way,

Response.Write(Directory.Exists(@"z:\foldername")) ; -- returns false

(Z:\ is mapped to a network path)

What should i check now? Help me out,

Regards,
Vijay

Ah yes, Z:\ may very well be a network path on your development machine, but
what about the server that the ASP.NET app is running on...?
