Below are examples on how to use Server.MapPath. Server.MappPath takes a path as a parameter and returns the exact physical location of that file on the hard drive. Read more on Server.MapPath.
The following example uses the server variable PATH_INFO to map the physical path to a file.
<%= Server.Mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO"))%>
So if c:\inetpub\wwwroot is the web root folder and the code above
is in the file "server_mappath_examples.asp" in our codesnippets
directory then it might display c:\inetpub\wwwroot\codesnippets\server_mappath_examples.asp
We can also use the Server.MapPath method to retrieve other file paths
'Our variable sCurrDir holds the current directory
sCurrDir = Server.MapPath(".")
'Our variable sParentDir holds the parent directory
sParentDir = Server.MapPath("..")
'Our variable sRootDir holds the root directory
sRootDir = Server.MapPath("/")
