MVC Download File from Remote Server

I am trying to download file from Remote Server but I am running up with errors.

public ActionResult Download()
{
    var a = new Uri("file://<<REMOTE_SERVER>>/<<Folder>>/Test.csv");
    return File(a, "application/csv", "test.csv");
}

Error:

file://<<REMOTE_SERVER>>/<<Folder>>/Test.csv is not a valid virtual path.

    var filePath = "http://img.local.com/Images/Customers/15364053/Inv_LMEM1LA6543_1.png";

    using (WebClient client = new WebClient())
    {
        byte[] imageData = client.DownloadData(filePath);

        string contentType = "";
        if (fileName.ToLower().Contains(".png"))
        {
            contentType = "Images/png";
        }
        else if (fileName.ToLower().Contains(".jpg"))

        Response.ContentType = contentType;
        Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
        Response.ContentType = "image/JPEG";
        Response.OutputStream.Write(imageData, 0, imageData.Length);
        Response.End();

    }
    return new EmptyResult();

using System.Security.Principal;          

using (new Impersonator("myUsername", "myDomainname", "myPassword"))
          {
             return File(@"<<REMOTE_SERVER>>\<<Folder>>\Test.csv", "application/csv", "test.csv");
          }

If you add the @ sign it will disable any escape characters. Besides you only have one / in the middle of your path which is why it isn't valid.

Try using a direct path:

var a = "\\\<<REMOTE_SERVER>>\\<<Folder>>\\Test.csv";
return File(a, "application/csv", "test.csv");
