I'm currently using WebClient to download files from passing specific urls, though the downloading is working perfectly on localhost but once it's published on the production server it always gives "404".

    using (var client = new WebClient())
    {
    var data = client.DownloadData(filePath);
    var content = new System.IO.MemoryStream(data);
    var contentType = "APPLICATION/octet-stream";
    return File(content, contentType, file);
    }

Maybe the problem with cookies. read this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14551345/accept-cookies-in-webclient/14551410#14551410 – Pritom Sarkar Aug 30 '21 at 12:06
@PritomSarkar I think it's not relevant – Moamen Metwali Aug 30 '21 at 13:11
@MomenMewali post your code. – Pritom Sarkar Aug 30 '21 at 13:16
@Momen Use a ```try``` ```catch``` WebException in your code. – Pritom Sarkar Aug 30 '21 at 13:46
404 means the file is not found,is `filePath` correct on the production server? – Yiyi You Aug 31 '21 at 05:36
@YiyiYou It exists and it works well on localhost – Moamen Metwali Sep 05 '21 at 09:50
