Download files from folder in webmatrix

Question

I have a "ticket system" and when the user creates a ticket there is an option to upload files. Those files go to a folder that have the name of the ticket.

This is the code that creates the folder when the ticket is created.

 var nomePasta = "Ticket Id - " + idNovoPedido;
                 string salva =   Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/"),"uploadedFiles",nomePasta);
                 Directory.CreateDirectory(salva);

Then on the backoffice i can see if there are any files on that folder.

Code to check if there are any files:

@foreach (string fullFilePath in Directory.GetFiles(Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/uploadedFiles"),"Ticket Id - "+@id)))
                    {
                        <div class="linkFicheiros">
                            <a href="@Href("~/uploadedFiles","Ticket Id - "+@id,Path.GetFileName(fullFilePath))">@Path.GetFileName(fullFilePath)</a>
                        </div>
                    }

Now my question is, how can i download the files?

If i click on a link (example if it's a photo, my browser opens a new window and show me the image) and if it's a "docx" it says that "The page cannot be found."

Update:

So i've found something, if the file is ".xls" i can download it without any problem, but if the file is ".docx" it gives the error mentioned above "The page cannot be found.".

Any thoughts ?

Answer 1

There are other warnings in Internet for the same problem stating that it depends on the lack of definition on the web server for the DocX files' MIME type : Page cannot be found Error when executing a Hyperlink to a DocX File.

Anyway, if it could be useful, in this article I have used a universal routine for the file downloading: Downloading Files C#. You should add the .docx case and its MIME type:

application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
