Server.MapPath is for local filesystems only. An http:// url is not considered local.
For example:
Server.MapPath(@"\images")
might return
"C:\inetpub\wwwroot\images\"

thank you for your reply..........
I tried this also "http://www.mintmenadev.com/z/test/cms/Movies/" & FileUpload1.FileName


But it shows an error

System.Web.HttpException: The SaveAs method is configured to require a rooted path, and the path 'http://www.mintmenadev.com/z/test/cms/Movies/head.swf' is not rooted.


pls help me.........
thanks in advance.........

That is the same thing. You are STILL using an http:// path. You need to provide a local path. Like the error message tells you.
