tring[] fileA = System.IO.File

What us the error you get on the line :
string[] fileA = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"textBox1.Text"); ?

My bets are that you need to open the file in a stream ?

You can always also use :

System.IO.File.Copy ?

here you go

Html

  <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" 
            Text="Read from file" />
        <asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" onclick="Button2_Click" 
            Text="Modify and save " />

Code behind

  {
            //this calls the method to read from the file
            readFileintoTextbox();
        }

        private void readFileintoTextbox()
        {
            //reads text into textbox
            using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"C:\Dropbox\test\mystuff.txt"))
            {
                string contentOfFile = reader.ReadToEnd();
                TextBox1.Text = contentOfFile;


            }
        }

        protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //writes the contents of the textbox to a new file
            StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(@"C:\Dropbox\test\mynewstuff.txt");
             sw.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text);
              sw.Close();
        }
