What kind of file is that ? As long as I know, it is a security problem, if you can open file from browser click. Browser can only automatically open HTM, HTML, TXT, Images.... and not EXE, ZIP, ...

Try the given below code -

C#

WebClient req = new WebClient();
HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response;
response.Clear();
response.ClearContent();
response.ClearHeaders();
response.Buffer = true;

response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(FileName)) + "\"");
byte[] data = req.DownloadData(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(FileName));
response.BinaryWrite(data);
response.End();

how to add filename in this code?

Create a function with the code and use FileName variable mentioned in the code as a parameter where in you can pass the full path of the file name. In the code i posted I was passing the file name as "~/upload/test.txt". Hence I used Server.MapPath function.
