How to manage my directory's in asp.net using fileupload

Please take some of your time and read my problem
I need by using fileupload to upload just images to my web application
But when I select the image and click on upload button if the program see it a jpg file it will create a directory with the name jpg an save it there
That goes to gif and png
Please any one if you could give the code I will be very very thankful to you
Or at least link could help me
string folder = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(FileUpload1.FileName);
string path = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "/" + folder;
if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(path))
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
string server_path = Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "/myfiles/";
FileUpload1.SaveAs(server_path + FileUpload1.FileName);

You can use System.IO.Path.GetExtension(FileUpload1.FileName); to get the extension of the file.

Physical path for the virtual directory using:
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath(virtualDirectoryPath)

C# Download an image from URL

I use a website to get stats on wifi usage. The website creates an image of a graph representation of the data. The way it does this is by the user, setting a date. So for example, lets say it was last months statistics. The website generates a URL which is then sent to the server and the server returns an image. an examples of the link is like this:
https://www.example.com/graph/daily_usage?time_from=2015-06-01+00%3A00%3A00+%2B0100&time_to=2015-06-30+23%3A59%3A59+%2B0100&tsp=1436519988
The problem is, I am making a third party program that will download this image to be used in my program. However, I cannot use the file. It is as if the file is corrupt or something. I have tried a few methods but maybe someone can suggest a different approach. Basically, how do I download an image that is generated by a server from a URL link?
P.S.
Just noticed that if I download the file by right clicking through a browser and save, the image downloads with a size of 17.something kilobytes. But if I use the WebClient method to download the image, it only downloads 1.5kb. Why would that be? Seems like the WebClient method does not download completely.
Currently my code
if (hrefAtt == "Usage Graph")
{
string url = element.getAttribute("src");
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.DownloadFile(url, tempFolderPath + "\\" + currentAcc + "_UsageSummary.png");
wd.AddImagesToDoc(tempFolderPath + "\\" + currentAcc + "_UsageSummary.png");
wd.SaveDocument();
}
TempFolderPath is my desktop\TempFolder\
UPDATE
Out of random, I decided to see the raw data of the file with notepad and interestingly, the image data was actually a copy of the websites homepage html code, not the raw data of the image :S how does that make sense?

This will download the Google logo:
var img = Bitmap.FromStream(new MemoryStream(new WebClient().DownloadData("https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo11w.png")));

First of all, you have to understand link texture. If all links are same or close to each other, you have to use substring/remove/datetime etc. methods to make your new request link. For example;
string today = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
string generatedLink = #"http://www.yoururl.com/image + " + today + ".jpg";
string generatedFileName = #"C:\Usage\usage + " + today + ".jpg";
WebClient wClient = new WebClient();
wClient.DownloadFile(generatedLink, generatedFileName);

Distributing and there is some problems

I will be distributing my program. It will take pictures and save them to a folder. The problem is: C:/Users/G73/Desktop/
Everyone has there own file path... In the code it is
bitmap.Save("C:/Users/G73/Desktop/My OVMK Photos//OpenVMK" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") + ".jpg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);
It has my File path and the name of my computer... How would I make it to change to the users path?

Try this code:
string path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
bitmap.Save(Path.Combine(path, "My OVMK Photos//OpenVMK", DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss") + ".jpg"), ImageFormat.Jpeg);
It gets Desktop path for current user. You can get more special folders using Enviroment.SpecialFolder

To get the user's desktop -
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
Which you would use with a Path.Combine - e.g.:
bitmap.Save (Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "My OVMK Photos//OpenVMK...
Though for images you'd likely be better off using the My Pictures directory -
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures);

Try this
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.UserProfile));

Store uploaded images on Network using Ip address in c#

I am working on uploading a file from MVC and I want to store the uploaded images on the network or any other system,I have IP address of that system,
Can anyone help me to find out where I am making mistake or is there some other way to store image on certain IP address.
I am using this code to save image on another machine with IP address
public ActionResult Test(string ENROLLIMAGE)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ENROLLIMAGE))
{
HttpPostedFileBase file = Request.Files["ENROLLIMAGE"];
Guid ImageId = Guid.NewGuid();
var filename = ImageId.ToString() + Path.GetExtension(file.FileName);
file.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("\\\\192.168.11.113\\D:\\UploadedFiles" + filename));
Uri addy = new Uri("\\\\192.168.11.113\\D:\\UploadedFiles" + filename);
}
return View();
}
Kindly help !!!!
It is giving me error while I am trying to upload that "The given path's format is not supported."
Thanks

You can't use a drive specification like D: in an UNC path. What you should do is make a network share of the UploadedFiles folder on the remote machine, and use file.SaveAs("\\\\192.168.11.113\\UploadedFiles\\" + filename);
D: is not allowed in an UNC path, and will give you the error.
So, either use file.SaveAs("\\\\192.168.11.113\\<ShareNameHere>\\" + filename), or use file.SaveAs("\\\\192.168.11.113\\D$\\UploadedFiles\\" + filename) if you have administrative privileges on the target machine.

File.Exists using the wrong root path?

In my c# class I wrote I have a photo property that returns the photo source if the image exists (nothing or default image otherwise). In my code I use:
public string Photo
{
get
{
string source = "~/images/recipes/" + id + ".jpg";
if (File.Exists(source))
return "~/images/recipes/" + id + ".jpg";
else
return "";
}
}
If I get the FileInfo() information for this image I see that I tries to find this image in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\10.0\~\images\recipes
Of course the image is not located in that directory and File.Exists is returning me the wrong value. But how can I fix this?

Try this:
if(File.Exists(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(source)))

You need to map the relative path back to a physical path:
string source = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/images/recipes/" + id + ".jpg");

You'll have to use:
Server.MapPath(source)
As you can not be 100% sure where the code will be running from, ie. it will be different in development and on a production server. Also are you sure ~/ works in windows? Wont that just be interpreted as a directory named ~? Unless thats what you want.
