You can't control where a file is saved on the client, the user can save it anywhere they want or not save it at all.

You can't specify a destination directory when transmitting a file for download with a web response.

The client (browser) receiving the file should open a save as dialog so that the user can choose where to store the file. The initial directory from that dialog is usually configurable in the browser (download directory).

If the request has not been send by a browser but some kind of application, it is up to that application where to store downloaded files.
