The 'Address' parameter in the WebClient.UploadFile usually comes in
the form of ie. http://server/Upload_File.aspx

Hence my question, what is exactly the content of this
Upload_File.aspx? Am i supposed to create this file with some specific
codes?

Can't seems to get this method working for me in framework 2.0..

Thanks for any help.

Play with this.....

Friend Function UploadFile(ByVal SourceLocation As String, ByVal
DestinationLocation As String, ByRef ProgressBar As
System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar) As Boolean
        Dim StartTime As DateTime = DateTime.Now()
        Dim Response As String = Nothing, FileSize As Double = 0
        Try
            UploadFile = False
            If SourceLocation.ToString.Trim <> "" And
DestinationLocation.ToString.Trim <> "" Then
                'To set Upload settings
                Dim UploadRequest As System.Net.HttpWebRequest =
CType(System.Net.WebRequest.Create(New
Uri(DestinationLocation.ToString.Trim)), System.Net.HttpWebRequest)
                UploadRequest.Timeout = 60000000
                UploadRequest.Method = "PUT"
                UploadRequest.ContentLength = New
System.IO.FileInfo(SourceLocation.ToString.Trim).Length
                FileSize = UploadRequest.ContentLength.ToString.Trim
                'To set Upload Stream settings
                Dim SourceStream As New
System.IO.FileStream(SourceLocation.ToString.Trim, System.IO.FileMode.Open,
System.IO.FileAccess.Read, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite)
                Dim RequestStream As System.IO.Stream =
UploadRequest.GetRequestStream()
                Dim Buffer(4095) As Byte
                Dim Position As Integer = 0, ivlLoop As Integer = 0,
CurLocation As Integer = 0
                Position = SourceStream.Read(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length)
                ProgressBar.Visible = True
                ProgressBar.Value = 0
                ProgressBar.Maximum = 100
                While Position <> 0
                    RequestStream.Write(Buffer, 0, Position)
                    Position = SourceStream.Read(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length)
                    CurLocation += Position
                    ProgressBar.Value = CInt((CurLocation / FileSize) * 100)
                    ProgressBar.Refresh()
                End While


                Dim WebResponse As System.Net.HttpWebResponse =
CType(UploadRequest.GetResponse(), System.Net.HttpWebResponse)
                Dim ResponseReader As New
System.IO.StreamReader(WebResponse.GetResponseStream())
                Response = ResponseReader.ReadToEnd()
                UploadFile = True
                RequestStream.Close()
                UploadRequest = Nothing
                SourceStream = Nothing
                RequestStream = Nothing
                WebResponse = Nothing
                ResponseReader = Nothing
            ElseIf SourceLocation.ToString.Trim = "" Then
                MsgBox("Source Location is missing", "UploadFile")
            ElseIf DestinationLocation.ToString.Trim = "" Then
                MsgBox("Destination Location is missing", "UploadFile")
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ex.ToString)
            Exit Function
        End Try
        'ProgressBar.Visible = False
    End Function

Thanks for your help.

However, for the input parameter --> 'DestinationLocation' , I have
supplied something like 'http://127.0.0.1/temp/' and I received a
remote server returned an error: 405 Method not allowed.

Is my DestinationLocation --> 'http://127.0.0.1/temp/' wrongly
specified or could it be due to some other reason.

Appreciate your advice.

Thanks.

Try using your actual IP address instead.

Here are some steps to see if IIS is configured properly.

Go to "Control Panel"-"Administrative Tools"-"Internet Information
Services".

Expand the tree to "COMPUTERNAME"-"Web Sites"-"Default Web Site".

Right-click on "Default Web Site" and select "Properties".

Select the "Home Directory" tab.

Click the "Configuration" button.

From the "Mappings" tab, select the "Add" button.

Click the "Browse..." button, choose "Dynamic Link Libraries *.dll" from the
"Files of Type" dropdown, and select c:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\asp.dll.

Type ".html" (without quotes) in the "Extension" box.

Select the "Limit to:" radio button, and type in "GET, POST" (without
quotes) in the box next to it.

Click the "OK" button and close all the dialogs. (If the "OK" button is
greyed out, then make sure all the entries are correct and try clicking in
the file name box.)
