Hello folks newby here. I created a website in VS2005, all is well and it publishes fine.

It allows users to upload files, the question is where do you place your "upload" folder. In my case I created an folder within the website, however the VS publish process deletes all files and folders when it does it update, so any uploaded files would be toast.

Considered setting up a virtual folder in IIS, but thought I'd ask around first.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

 

Hello nogn,

We have such an application with file upload functionality which is running on a number of IIS servers forming a web farm.

In our production environment, we chosed a network share to keep and store the uploaded files. Of course we have defined this network share as a virtual directory under the main application pointing to the network share.

But if your application is running on a single IIS server, you may chose keeping files under a drive which is not system drive and you can define it as a virtual directory.

I guess, you have already discovered the best solution for your case.
