.NET - Save image from one folder to another folder

Introduction

Sometimes we need to copy an image from one folder to another folder. The snippet shows how to copy file using System.IO.File.Copy.

System.IO.File.Copy(Server.MapPath("/sourcefolder/myimage.jpg"), Server.MapPath("/destinationfolder/myimage1.jpg"));

Copy method takes 2 arguments

1^st - source file path

2^nd - destination file path

sourcefolder & destinationfolder are folders in your ASP.NET project.

Note: Server.MapPath works for ASP.NET. If you want to use it for console/windows application just pass the path of the file like below

System.IO.File.Copy(@"c:\myimage.jpg", @"c:\testfolder\myimage1.jpg");
