Hi,

I am uploading files using MVC3 all things are working fine.

I am using <input type="file"> control

The problem is arising that if I upload a file name "abc.gif" and next time I upload the same file, then instead of overwriting it is showing exception msg Access is denied to Uploads.

Uploads is the directory where I am placing my files.

Kindly tell me how can i handle this.

Regards

The problem is that you do not have access to overwrite the same file. To handle this you should move the file to another location after the upload. Before you move, you check if there is a file with the same name. If there is another file with the same name, you need to decide what you want to do.
