  • Sir, the above code copies the file from one location to other, but i should not do that i just have to take the file from remote location and send to email( not to store) – K.Bhanuprakash Jan 11 '19 at 17:24

The problem is that you are using a FileSystemResource and this isn't on the file system. Its a URL hosted externally. You probablyly should be using a URLResource instead of a FileResource.

See more in here documentation

The URLResource should be able to make sense of the HTTP URL that you have.
