Hi,

You can try fetching the byte array of the file from your server folder and then send it for download using  ServletResponseUtil.

Ex.

byte[] fileBytes = FileUtil.getBytes(new File("localfilepath//sample.pdf"));
		
ServletResponseUtil.sendFile(PortalUtil.getHttpServletRequest(resourceRequest), PortalUtil.getHttpServletResponse(resourceResponse), "sample.pdf", fileBytes);

Hi Mohammed, 

I've tried your solution before but the file is not downloaded and browser show nothing either.

I've tried also the liferay core way with a fileEntry and nothing happends also.

I'm missing something but i don't know what.


Thanks a lot

show your code, and tell us how it behaves. (the serveResource method probably is enough)
