How to use a relative path to link to another local file?

This is a very basic html question, but I can't seem to locate the answer.

I have a local file located here:

/Users/Me/Desktop/Main/June/foo.txt

In an .html document located within the /Main directory, I can link to the foo.txt file using the full path:

<a href="file:///Users/Me/Desktop/Main/June/foo.txt">Full Path Link</a>

I would like to use relative paths to link to foo.txt. Does anyone know how to create a relative path link to this foo.txt file?

I tried the code below and a number of similar permutations, but I can't seem to successfully write the relative path link for this local file.

<a href="file:///../June/foo.txt">Relative path Link</a>

If you simply drag your file from the solution explorer into the razor/html page, it will create for you everything you need.

Remove the file:/// part to have just ../June/foo.txt.

This should help you out.
