| Apr 3, 2016 at 13:57 | comment | added | Joppe | As @Ewan mentioned App_data is your problem, it's to provide file access to the Web App process not and deliberately -not- to external clients (it will block request access to this path). Just create any directory inside your web app for the excel files and it should work. Keep it simple ;-) | |

| Mar 30, 2016 at 19:02 | comment | added | Buttle Butkus | What is the app_data folder. That sounds like a windows folder. Is your web server running Windows? Downloading files from a LAMP stack never seemed so hard. | |
| Mar 30, 2016 at 16:54 | comment | added | Adam Copley | Isn't this just a URL rewriting issue? So that you would need to add an exception to your url routing rules so that app_data is recognised as a path to a directory rather than a method? Since your app is c# I'll assume your also using IIS, for which I don't know the solution, but URL rewriting is where I would look. | |
