Creating new directory on the server

[rsimlote]

Hi
I am developing a site, where the users upload images to the user's
(/images/<username>) directory on the server. I am able to upload the
file only if the directory already exist on the server, but for that I
am manually craeting these directories on the server. How can I create
a directory programatically through ASP.NET code? Thanks.

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(<a physical path>); should work.

To get the physical path you can user server.mappath("/images/username/")

Hi Norman,
Thanks for replying. I tried doing what you suggested. I used
Server.MapPath(path), but the problem is that it gives me path
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\applname\images\username", which is correct
however, it creats the directory and stores image on the client's
machine. As I my development machine is also the development server as
well as client for local testing, things were working fine, until I
transferred my files on the production testing server, and the
directories were still created on the client machine. Please help on
how to get the server location, Thanks.
