You can't force saving a file on the client computer, and definitely not in a specific folder. You can only hand over the file to the user and let the browser save it or ask the user where and whether to save it.

Your code doesn't download a single image by the way, it sets the Image control's source location at best.

If you want to write an image to the output stream (when you have the image as byte array), then you can do this:

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"file.png\"");
HttpContext.Current.Response.OutputStream.Write(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length);
