Not able to generate excel file locally

[wickedrahul9]

Hi guys,
My web server & database server are on 2 different systems. I am trying to generate excel file locally but the excel is getting generated on server. Output path is

c:\\" + output + ".xls

There is no problem anywhere else in code. If a user on any system is trying to generate excel file it's getting generated on server in C drive. But the excel should generate on local system of that particular user.

Is this code fine?

\\c:\\" + output + ".xls
or
/c:\\" + output + ".xls
or something else. Anybody please let me know.

If you want to generate in the second machine, I mean on the user/client you have to do it on the user. Setting the path like above not make sense at all.

Then I think I"ll have to download the file which is getting created on server. Am I right?

Yup, that is a much better approach. Let the user Download the file or you can use FTP. ^_^

Yes that's what you have to done. Use the way Eku explains in his last post. And don't use HTTP for this, it's not a good practice.
