You have given a vague explanation of what you want to do, but I am wondering why? Is this an intranet or extranet? Who are your users and will they be selecting the voice file? What is the format of the file? What code have you tried and have you received any errors...

Hi,
There is no special logic used for file download. Like u give the link for HTML file, u give a link to that particular file. When the user clicks that link, it downloads that file to the client.

In case of an client server apps, the server generally denotes DB Server. Did u mean to download a file from DB ?

Hi,
You are confused i think. You said that you want to get that from the DB and also u said that its stored in a folder.

In case of DB, the data are stored in tables.

If you want to store that files in a folder for later download, then it should be a web application.

I May not get u clear....

Yup,
That sounds clear now.

Try this,

FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(@"\\\\MachineName\\FilePath\\FileName.ext ");
FileStream fileReadStream = fileInfo.OpenRead();

Also,

In web.config file, change the settings of impersonation,

<identity impersonate="true"
userName="domain\username"
password="password"/>

Check with the fileinfo class, it has a method CopyTo(), which will copy the file to the specified location.

What ever file it may be, thats not an issue here. You can use this class for any kind of files.

Some mock code again

using System;
using System.IO;
 
class Test 
{
 
    public static void Main() 
    {
        string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
        string path2 = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt" + "temp";
        FileInfo fi1 = new FileInfo(path);
        FileInfo fi2 = new FileInfo(path2);
 
        try 
        {
            // Create the file and clean up handles.
            using (FileStream fs = fi1.Create()) {}
 
            //Ensure that the target does not exist.
            fi2.Delete();
 
            //Copy the file.
            fi1.CopyTo(path2);
            Console.WriteLine("{0} was copied to {1}.", path, path2);
 
            //Try to copy it again, which should succeed.
            fi1.CopyTo(path2, true);
 
            Console.WriteLine("The second Copy operation succeeded, which is expected.");
 
        } 
        catch 
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Double copying was not allowed, which is not expected.");
        }
    }
}
