As far as I know you can't access the filesystem from Javascript — Christian Stewart, Apr 22 '14 at 15:49
If you want to offer a file for download without a server where the file can be generated, then you will need to use Flash, or a similar plugin — caffeinated.tech, Apr 22 '14 at 16:13

First of all it doesn't seem as though you're accessing your page through a web server (http). So when you use a relative file url like relative_path/abc.xls, it's trying to access a file relative to your file system which is not allowed by javascript for security reasons.

If you know where the file is going to be on your server, you can just use window.open('absolute_or_relative_url.xls', '_blank'); or something more advanced like: Download File Using Javascript/jQuery
