Uploading files to file server using webclient class

by

Just use 

File.Copy(filepath, "\\\\192.168.1.28\\Files");

A windows fileshare exposed via a UNC path is treated as part of the file system, and has nothing to do with the web.

The credentials used will be that of the ASP.NET worker process, or any impersonation you’ve enabled. If you can tweak those to get it right, this can be done.

You may run into problems because you are using the IP address instead of the server name (windows trust settings prevent leaving the domain – by using IP you are hiding any domain details). If at all possible, use the server name!

If this is not on the same windows domain, and you are trying to use a different domain account, you will need to specify the username as “[domain_or_machine]\[username]”

If you need to specify explicit credentials, you’ll need to look into coding an impersonation solution.
