That's because the file doesn't exist on the server. You can't use a file path that references a file on the client computer to access a file on the server. When you are running it on your own computer, the client and the server is the same, so the file that exists on the client also exists on the server.

The FileUpload object contains the data from the uploaded file. Get the data from there, and if you need it as a file, create a file and write the data to it.
