You can call a method that will give you your file stream like this:

public FileStreamResult DownloadFile()
{
    //
    // This part is where you build your file
    //
    // file should be a Stream
    return new FileStreamResult(file, "text/plain")
        {
            FileDownloadName = "optional_name_that_you_can_give_your_file"
        };
}

try adding this before your return:

var cd = new System.Net.Mime.ContentDisposition
{
    FileName = "Export.txt", 
    Inline = false, 
};
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", cd.ToString());

return File(file, "text/plain");
