What HTML can I use to create a link to download a file located on the server?
I have an agent that creates a file every night that needs to be downloaded via the Web. I have computed text that generates a button to click for downloading, but I can not figure out how to link it to the file. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Shawn~

in the button just place the code to access the file on the server:
location.href = “/” +
example: location.href = “/files/report.xls”
or open it in a new window with window.open
let me know if this is what you need

I tried that and the browser can’t find the file. It appends the domain (IP Address) to the beginning of the file path. I need to load the file at “C:\Folder_Name\File_Name”.

The URL to a file on a file server would be something like this:
file://servername/drivenameOrDirectory/path/filename.ext
