uploading a file from the user's PC to my server using vb.net
I created a simple .Net 4.6 site with an asp:FileUpload and asp:Button control so that users can browse their PC for a file, and then upload it to my server.
I've gotten the first part down as you can see below. However, I don't know how to get the user's file to my server. It's just a Windows Server 2012 with IIS installed.
Here is what I have so far:
<asp:FileUpload CssClass="upload" ID="flImageFromComputer" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload" CssClass="btn" />
Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpload.Click
Try
If Me.flImageFromComputer.HasFile Then
With Me.flImageFromComputer
' *** not sure how to get it to the server ***
End With
End If
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write(ex.ToString)
End Try
I've tried Googling, but can't really find anything on how to transfer the file to my server.
Any help would be great! :)
Thanks!

Instead of doing a google search, I suggest you look at the documentation. You would see that it contains a SaveAs method. It should do what you are looking for.
Me.flImageFromComputer.SaveAs("c:...file.ext")
You'll have to make sure the running user has access to the path.

Thanks! I actually did see that, but assumed it was used to save to the users PC and not my server.

@SkyeBoniwell ah! well, the vb part is run on the server. Read up on the difference between client side and server side code. It can be confusing with web app.
