I have a workflow that writes an excel file to the c:\temp foder. How does a user downloads the file?

  Hi Pedro

   

  rather than putting it that directory, how about a directory that you can configure as a virtual directory in IIS.

   

  Then you provide to the user an url to that file in the virtual directory to download it or you could 'force' it upon them by opening it in another window in their browser.

   

  Let me know how much of that makes sense (or not)

   

  Regards

  Hi Pedro, 

   

  In Workflow Designer, there is an activity called "Create Temp File". You can use that to create a temporary file on your Essentials REST end point from the Excel file and then use the "Display Hyperlink" activity to display the link. 

   

  I hope this helps.
