here i am unable to download file, see my code below

In Handler.ashx file

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {

            string PPTOutputPath = context.Request.QueryString["DownLoadFileName"];
            PPTOutputPath = PPTOutputPath.Replace(",", "\\");
            FileInfo PPTFileNewfile = new FileInfo(PPTOutputPath);
            long sz = PPTFileNewfile.Length;
            context.Response.ClearContent();
            context.Response.ContentType = MimeType(Path.GetExtension(PPTOutputPath));
            context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", string.Format("attachment; filename = {0}", System.IO.Path.GetFileName(PPTOutputPath)));
            context.Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", sz.ToString("F0"));
            context.Response.TransmitFile(PPTOutputPath);
            context.Response.Flush();
            context.Response.End();
        }

My ajax call

function CallHandler(PPTOutputPath) {
            $.ajax({
                type: 'POST',
                url: "MyHandler.ashx?DownLoadFileName=" + PPTOutputPath,
                
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType: "json",
                data: "{'imageData': '" + PPTOutputPath + "'}",
                responseType: "json",
                success: OnComplete,
                error: OnFail
            });
            return false;
        }

function OnComplete(result) {
        alert('Ajax success');
}
function OnFail(result) {
    alert('Ajax failed');

You can not write file on client without browser interaction(as actual client for server is browser) due to security reasons, so in your ajax call it would be better if you will reload your page and in page_load you write download code or call a function where you have kept your file download code. Suppose you are downloading a pdf file.

function CallHandler(PdfFileName) {
var urlCur = window.location+"?DownLoadFileName=" + PdfFileName;
window.location.href=urlCur;
}

in your page load write download code:

string FileName= Request.QueryString["DownLoadFileName"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(FileName))
{
string pathOfFolder = "here put folder path where this file is";//Or you can use server.MapPath("path of your file")
string fileToDownload = pathOfFolder + FileName;
if (File.Exists(fileToDownload))
{
try
{
using (FileStream fileStream = System.IO.File.OpenRead(fileToDownload))
{
MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
memoryStream.SetLength(fileStream.Length);
fileStream.Read(memoryStream.GetBuffer(), 0, (int)fileStream.Length);
byte[] bytes = memoryStream.ToArray();
memoryStream.Close();
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + FileName);
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.BinaryWrite(bytes);
Response.Flush();
}
}
finally
{
System.IO.File.Delete(fileToDownload);
}
}
}
