Previously file was located in the app folder so that I had given file path in anchor tag.

 

 

 

Now this file will be placed in different folder in server. I need to download/open the file.

 

What i have tried is

 

 

public FileResult Download()
{
byte[] fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"\\ip-myserver-101\MyFolder\MyFile.xls");
string fileName = "MyFile.xls";

return File(fileBytes, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet, fileName);
}

 

But it did not work. I got error message .

 

Server Error in '/' Application.
