Answer 1

Please verify that the account under which your process is executing has read permission for the file, C:\AutoFiles\AutoTemp\AutoTemp. Actually, the file-name is a little odd, so you might also like to confirm that this is actually a file that exists.

Answer 2

I found that the m_upload needs to include the name of the file in the path. Like " C:\AutoFiles\AutoTemp\AutoTemp\file_name.txt".  Then the m_name needs to be equal to the file name, "file_name.txt" in my example. Seems redundant, but that's the way it is. This fixed my problem.

Comments

It's not redundant, because users often want to upload a file under a different name. It's common, for example, to upload it as a temporary file and rename it afterwards.

Thanks, that makes total sense!
