How to handle a file in ASP.net, that was uploaded from desktop application?

I am using WebClient.UploadFile to upload a file to this kind of URL - http://example.com/file.aspx via HTTP POST method.

How can I get that file and save it to a sepecific location on the server? What code should I write inside file.aspx to do this?

When I search, all examples assume I use the file uplo开发者_运维知识库ad control. But how can I get and save a file sent via HTTP POST generally in ASP.Net?

I am using C#, so C# code example will be great. But I have no probs converting VB to C#.

In the server-side page (which, BTW, ought to be an ASHX rather than an ASPX), use the Request.Files collection.

For example, you can write Request.Files[0].SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/Something"))

I believe you should find this MSDN article suitable to your needs. WebClient.UploadFile Method You can see how the page_load is used to handle the file that is embedded in the http request from thew webclient

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {

    foreach(string f in Request.Files.AllKeys) {
        HttpPostedFile file = Request.Files[f];
        file.SaveAs("c:\\inetpub\\test\\UploadedFiles\\" + file.FileName);

    }   
}

After reviewing comment from @SLaks I would agree that using a .ashx would be a 'better' result. The code should look something like:

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="Handler" %>

    using System;
    using System.Web;

    public class Handler : IHttpHandler
    {
        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {

            foreach(string f in context.Request.Files.AllKeys) 
            {
               HttpPostedFile file = context.Request.Files[f];
               file.SaveAs("c:\\inetpub\\test\\UploadedFiles\\" + file.FileName);
             // alternatively:
             file.SaveAs(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath(@"\StorageFolder\",file.FileName);
             //thanks @SLaks.
            }
         }
     }
