How do I download file from the server in MVC

Question

Previously file was located in the app folder so that I had given file path in anchor tag.

 

<div style="color:#413f5a;padding:10px">
<a href="/MyApplication/MyAppFolder/MyFile.xls">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-file" style="font-size:20px"></i>
<span style="font-size:15px;margin-left:8px">MyFile.xls</span>
</a>
</div> 

 

Now this file will be placed in different folder in server. I need to download/open the file.

 

What i have tried is

 

@Html.ActionLink("MyFile.xls", "DownloadFile", "Home")

 

public FileResult Download()
{
byte[] fileBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(@"\\ip-myserver-101\MyFolder\MyFile.xls");
string fileName = "MyFile.xls";

return File(fileBytes, System.Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet, fileName);
}

 

But it did not work. I got error message .

 

Server Error in '/' Application.
