Not sure what your question is here. .NET will not allow you to move out of the top level directory of the website. Say your physical website directory is this: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\website.com and then you have an image directory path that is this: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\images. You can not put an ASPX file in the website.com folder and do something like this: <img src="../images/image.jpg" /> as you are no doubt finding out. This is a security measure to prevent someone from injecting malicious code that would allow them to transverse your file system which you don't want to have happen.
