1. Add a link to page, Like this:-
<a href="Download.ashx?FileName=file.pdf&FilePath=DownLoad/">Download Standing Order Mandate</a >
Where file.pdf = file to download
DownLoad = Folder name where the file placed at server.
2. Then Add a Generic Handler to the website/project with the name Download.ashx and add the following code:
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
if (context.Request.QueryString["FileName"] != null && context.Request.QueryString["FilePath"] != null)
{
string strFileName = context.Request.QueryString["FileName"];
string strOnPath = @"~/" + context.Request.QueryString["FilePath"].ToString() + strFileName;
string strpath = context.Server.MapPath(strOnPath);
FileInfo myFile = new FileInfo(strpath);
context.Response.Clear();
context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + strFileName);
context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", myFile.Length.ToString());
context.Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
context.Response.WriteFile(myFile.FullName);
context.Response.End();
}
