  Hello Nick,
  
  If you want to download the file than you can add just pass the URL and name of your file so it will ask for download and it will open save as dialog and you can save it as you want.

  <asp:HyperLink ID="lnkDownloadCSVFile" runat="server" NavigateUrl="~/Template.xlsx" Text="Download">

  If you will have fix folder than you need to check directory on client system and after that you can save.
  
  I think if you will ask for user for save location than it will be better to manage.
  
  Let me know if you have any query or you need any more.
