Answer 1

You can try below code to download the file. It should return the FileResult

public ActionResult DownloadDocument()
{
string filePath = "your file path";
string fileName = ""your file name;

byte[] fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);

return File(fileBytes, "application/force-download", fileName);

}
