0	Hi, If you want to browse the server's directory from the browser it is not possible at all. And, System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog is only intended for winforms and it does not work in web applications. If you want to save a file locally in your client machine, you can use Server.MapPath to perform such action. Please let us know what you are exactly trying to perform.
