Answer 1

The path you save is the relative url. You need to save the path to the local file (or the full network path).

Try:

 string relativePath = @"~\images\"+ i + Path.GetExtension(fu1.FileName); fu1.SaveAs(Server.MapPath(relativePath)); 

(Path.GetExtension (string) will handle file extensions that are not 3 characters)
