   Here's an example that's optimized for getting copying a file from an ASP.NET FileUpload control and keeping it's path.

   string filePath = uploadFile(fileUploadControl.FileContent);
   
   private string uploadFile(Stream serverFileStream)
   {
       string filename = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FileUploadTempDir"] + 
           DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMddhhmm") + "_" + 
           Customer.GetCustomerName(CustomerId).Replace(" ", "_") + ".txt";
   
       try
       {
           int length = 256;
           int bytesRead = 0;
           Byte[] buffer = new Byte[length];
   
           // write the required bytes
           using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create))
           {
               do
               {
                   bytesRead = serverFileStream.Read(buffer, 0, length);
                   fs.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
               }
               while (bytesRead == length);
           }
   
           serverFileStream.Dispose();
           return filename;
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           lblErrorMessage.Text += "An unexpeded error occured uploading the file. " + ex.Message;
           return string.Empty;
       }
   
   }

   When I pass Response.OutputStream as a readStream parameter to this method it is giving "Specified method is not supported." error in readStream.Read() method. I was trying to save a Response.OutputStream to a file. Please help.
