Absolute path to url?

[js]

Hi,

I have stored the absolute file path in a grid, and want if user click it,
will redirect to the virtual path and download the file:

Dim fileName As String = articleList.DataKeys(e.Item.ItemIndex)

Response.Redirect(fileName, True)

But failed, how to recirect to the link? Thanks.

Have you tried: Server.Transfer(fileName, True)

Thanks Steven,

I got this error:
Invalid path for child request
'C:\MyServer\Users\debug\Portals\0\Users\host\Hell o1.doc'. A virtual path is
expected.

The path is right. How to fix it?

re:

No. The path is *not* right.
Your web users will never find a path in your file system.

You need to use a virtual path which your web users can access.
