Hi Test Bot,

Have you tried file::sendFileToUser(stream,filePathAndName).

Hi Test_Bot,

D365 can't see or create any folders on your workstation, just like any other websites (luckily) can't. The system can just ask the browser to open a download dialog, and from there on it's up to the browser and the user to choose a location that they want.

You can set up the default download folder in your browser's settings.

Hi partner,

I don't have an environment to test for you right now, please check this blog, you can try pass the full path in the second parameter.

As Nikolaos explained, what you're trying to do isn't possible. The web server doesn't have access to files on client machines.

As a workaround, you could make your local folder to FTP and drop the file from D365 using below code.

System.Byte[] bytes; System.Text.Encoding getUTF8; getUTF8 = System.Text.Encoding::get_UTF8(); System.Object request,response,credential; System.Net.FtpWebRequest ftpRequest; System.IO.Stream requestStream; System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(stream); bytes = getUTF8.GetBytes(streamReader.ReadToEnd()); request = System.Net.WebRequest::Create(new System.Uri("FTPURL")); ftpRequest = request; //Type casting object to ftpwebrequest object credential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("UserName", "Password"); ftpRequest.set_Credentials(credential); ftpRequest.set_ContentLength(bytes.get_Length()); ftpRequest.set_Method('STOR'); requestStream = ftpRequest.GetRequestStream(); requestStream.Write(bytes,0,bytes.get_Length()); requestStream.Close();
