Hi jsshivalik ,

In your application you can grant permissions for your folder to the application pool , so that your application could access other local disk drive . But i don't think you could directly view the file by entering the url in browser's address bar .

The file is not being saved in a folder inside your site, so there is no URL to it.   If you can map the folder you are saving the file in to a virtual directory inside your site, you could then access it with a URL in your site.  (Of course the easiest thing would be to save the files to a folder inside your site in the first place, if you intend to make them visible to your site visitors.)

I told you in my earlier reply.  Map d:\Doc to a virtual folder inside your website, so you can link to it.

Hi jsshivalik,

According to your description,if you want to view file which is not in Website folder, you could set the permission of folder that it could be write and  read. You could follow the steps as below I hope it could help you.  .

1.In Windows Explorer, right-click the folder whose permissions you want to change, and then click Properties.
2.Click the Security tab.

Hi jsshivalik,

Now i want to open file which i am not able to do.

If you want to show file just by enter the url, you should use Response.WriteFile(filePath)  in page load event. For example if the file you want to show is  a pdf file , you could write as blow:

in pageload:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Clear();
            string filePath = @"e:\Doc\" + filename;// enter the address of file
            Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";// alert the type of file 
            Response.WriteFile(filePath);//show
            Response.End();
        }

Then you could directly enter the url of aspx which you want to show the file. I hope it could help you.

Best Regards
