    copied!<p>I'm using <code>uploadify</code> in my MVC3 project. It works fine to upload multiple files and saving to folders as well.</p> <p>How to pass the path of the uploaded file to controller action ? -- I need to pass it to the <code>ExtractingZip</code> action of my controller.</p> <p>To extract the contents of the <code>.zip</code> file, I'm using <a href="http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow">DotNetZip Library</a>.</p> <p>Here is what i've tried so far.</p> <pre><code>$('#file_upload').uploadify({ 'checkExisting': 'Content/uploadify/check-exists.php', 'swf': '/Content/uploadify/uploadify.swf', 'uploader': '/Home/Index', 'auto': false, 'buttonText': 'Browse', 'fileTypeExts': '*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.gif;*.zip', 'removeCompleted': false, 'onSelect': function (file) { if (file.type == ".zip") { debugger; $.ajax({ type: 'POST', dataType: 'json', url: '@Url.Action("ExtractingZip", "Home")', data: ({ fileName: file.name}), // I dont see a file.path to pass it to controller success: function (result) { alert('Success'); }, error: function (result) { alert('error'); } }); } } }); </code></pre> <p>Here is my controller action:</p> <pre><code> [HttpPost] public ActionResult ExtractingZip(string fileName,string filePath, HttpPostedFileBase fileData) { string zipToUnpack = @"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\images.zip";// I'm unable to get the filePath so i'm using the path. string unpackDirectory = System.IO.Path.GetTempPath(); using (ZipFile zip1 = ZipFile.Read(zipToUnpack)) { // here, we extract every entry, but we could extract conditionally // based on entry name, size, date, checkbox status, etc. var collections = zip1.SelectEntries("name=*.jpg;*.jpeg;*.png;*.gif;"); foreach (var item in collections) { item.Extract(unpackDirectory, ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently); } } return Json(true); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(IEnumerable&lt;HttpPostedFileBase&gt; fileData) { foreach (var file in fileData) { if (file.ContentLength &gt; 0) { string currpath; currpath = Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/Images/User3"), file.FileName); //save to a physical location file.SaveAs(currpath); } } } </code></pre>
