  • you need the file in a webserver (wamp or iis etc) and then try to access that url. [example: localhost:4200/home/moulali/Desktop/samp_cc.go] – lpradhap Sep 14 '17 at 10:29

  • if you want to access a file, then the file should be hosted inside a webserver, you cannot load files from your drive directly, you need host them in a webserver. if your not clear, please try to copy the file and try to include into asset folder in your angular project and then your the url/asset/filename. – lpradhap Sep 14 '17 at 10:43

Modern browsers explicitly forbid such actions, because this would allow websites to steal your personal data. Say, if browser is open under root account, then what would prevent website from downloading or even updating your /etc/passwd file? Or any other for that matter?

  • Atleast is it possible to download local file – rajasekhar pippalla Sep 15 '17 at 06:12
  • What do you mean by "download local file"? It's already there, no need to download it. You just can't open it due to sandboxing. If you really want to provide scripts to user, you have to serve them from your server. – stiebrs Sep 18 '17 at 06:48
