Hi,

I have a C#.Net core 3.1 console application which supports on Linux server.
I have created log file folder path by using Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer) path.
In Redhat, the folder path created on my computer.
But in CENTOS the folder path created on "/home/User/"

I need to create folder path in Redhat "/home/User/" through root user.

Please help me on this issue.
