I am even more confused now. If you have a path to a file, then file must
necessarily exist on server disk otherwise it is a memory mapped file and
exists in server memory. Assuming the former, do you intend to move the file
from one directory to another? Then, simply write the file to the directory
using one of the methods of the System.IO filestream class.
