I have uploaded a blf file in Repositry but when i click on it i download it as file with name fileRepositryDownlader.

 

My QUESTION

 

1) When i download a file. It needs to be the same file blf type file which i have uploaded it. (My major requirement is that i want to download it from mashup.)

 

2) When i click on file in mashup it needs to show me the file content same as we open PDF in mashup.

You didn't write what widget you use on your mashup to download the file.

When you use a Link you can provide the URL in two different formats. Both save the file with the name is has on the server:

 

https://someserver/Thingworx/FileRepositoryDownloader?download-repository=SystemRepository&download-path=/myfile.blf 

https://someserver/Thingworx/FileRepositories/SystemRepository/myfile.blf 

If that doesn't work for you it you can validate using a different browser.

I am using webframe widget in mashup. It works fine for PDF and it view it in browser and then i can also download it but for this blf type i just want to download the file but its not able to download it. If i ZIP the file and download it then ZIP is able to download easily. do you have any solution?

It works for me if I put the link https://someserver/Thingworx/FileRepositories/SystemRepository/myfile.blf  into the URL property of Web Frame. It gets downloaded as myfile.blf.
