.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007downloading files from filesystem
My app needs to provide download of files (in this case .doc files) that exist on the file system. I have the physical filestring i.e. c:\myfilesdir\smith resume.doc. but if I load that into a navigateurl it doesn't work. Nor does file://c:\myfilesdir\smith resume.doc. Or any thing else I try. How can I do this? Thanks, T > My app needs to provide download of files (in this case .doc files) that > exist on the file system.
