How to send image into a specific folder? - asp.net

Question

I have an input element that selects an image as follows:
HTML Code
<input type="file" id="uploadEditorImage" />
Javascript Code
$("#uploadEditorImage").change(function () {
var data = new FormData();
var files = $("#uploadEditorImage").get(0).files;
if (files.length > 0) {
data.append("HelpSectionImages", files[0]);
}
$.ajax({
url: resolveUrl("~/Admin/HelpSection/AddTextEditorImage/"),
type:"POST",
processData: false,
contentType: false,
data: data,
success: function (response) {
//code after success
},
error: function (er) {
alert(er);
}
});
And Code in MVC controller
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.AllKeys.Any())
{
var pic = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Files["HelpSectionImages"];
}
I want to save the selected image in a specific folder such as C\Temp. How can I go about doing that? Please help.
Thank you.

in your html:
<input type="file" id="FileUpload1" />
script:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#FileUpload1').change(function () {
// Checking whether FormData is available in browser
if (window.FormData !== undefined) {
var data = new FormData();
var files = $("#FileUpload1").get(0).files;
console.log(files);
if (files.length > 0) {
data.append("HelpSectionImages", files[0]);
}
$.ajax({
url: '/Home/UploadFiles',
type: "POST",
contentType: false, // Not to set any content header
processData: false, // Not to process data
data: data,
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
},
error: function (err) {
alert(err.statusText);
}
});
} else {
alert("FormData is not supported.");
}
});
});
and backend:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadFiles()
{
// Checking no of files injected in Request object
if (Request.Files.Count > 0)
{
try
{
// Get all files from Request object
HttpFileCollectionBase files = Request.Files;
for (int i = 0; i < files.Count; i++)
{
//string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Uploads/";
//string filename = Path.GetFileName(Request.Files[i].FileName);
HttpPostedFileBase file = files[i];
string fname;
// Checking for Internet Explorer
if (Request.Browser.Browser.ToUpper() == "IE" || Request.Browser.Browser.ToUpper() == "INTERNETEXPLORER")
{
string[] testfiles = file.FileName.Split(new char[] { '\\' });
fname = testfiles[testfiles.Length - 1];
}
else
{
fname = file.FileName;
}
// Get the complete folder path and store the file inside it.
fname = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Content/"), fname);
file.SaveAs(fname);
}
// Returns message that successfully uploaded
return Json("File Uploaded Successfully!");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return Json("Error occurred. Error details: " + ex.Message);
}
}
else
{
return Json("No files selected.");
}
}
