I am trying to download a file that is on the local device I have a code in anchor tag like

<a href="/home/ubuntu/Documents/uploads/orderInvoice/invoice.pdf"
target="_self"
download>Download</a>

when I browse the path in browser then it opens up but in jquery, the server path localhost:3000 is appended at the beginning

I have tried the file path like file:///home/ubuntu/Documents/uploads/orderInvoice/invoice.pdf but it is also not working

meteor download anchor jquery javascript

Your file path cannot be found. I assume your file path will be as below, what will be the file path of your project file?

<a
  href="localhost:3000/uploads/orderInvoice/invoice.pdf"
  target="_self"
  download
>
  Download
</a>
