C# .NET - File not found in e-mail attachment - Asked By Dom Afonso on 30-Aug-12 06:02 PM

I am bulding an asp.net application for e-mail sending. Right now I can send e-mail with attachment when I test my application from visual web developer.
But when I deploy it to production web server, I can only send e-mail without attachment because I saparated the methods for sending e-mail without attachment and sending e-mail with attachment.

The erroe I get is the one below:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Could not find file 'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\Gotu.docx'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\Gotu.docx'.

If 'c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\Gotu.docx' is not the actual location of your file attachment, then you need to specify the actual location., Why is this so difficult to understand? The exception message is quite clear.

There may be two possibilities

1) File is not at that location. So make sure you have file on that given location

2) It may be possible that your C:\Windows\System32\inetserv doesn't have access rights. or this location have some access rights due to this it's not accessible by anywhere.
