Has the exception innerexceptions?
Is the path relative or absolute and is it correct?

Either
1. The path is wrong.
2. The file is not there.
3. Or the account running the IIS Application pool does not have permissions.

All easy things to check.

1. when i open the path URL using the browser it open
2. File is there
3. the user has full permission

But the path is encoded for urls and won't work using the System.File namespace so maybe you need to Server.UrlDecode(url) it first.
