如何在本地机器上打开 EC2 服务器中存在的文档？

Question

I deployed my Django Project in AWS EC2 server. My website got hosted successfully. Iam running a python code on click of a HTML button to open am Excel Sheet. Python code to open the excel sheet is given below:

import webbrowser

a_website = "C:\\python\\Python38\\result.xlsx"

webbrowser.open_new(a_website)

The excel sheet is opening in the EC2 server. But I need Excel sheet to be displayed in my local machine on which Iam clicking the HTML button on the hosted Website.

How will I open the Excel sheet present on EC2 server in my local machine?

You'll need to do some more research into handling serving files with a webserver. Depending on the webserver there's different ways to send files from the server to client. For example: Apache allow you to use the xsendfile module. Be sure to set the Content-Disposition: attachment header when you serve the file.
