[python] Flask Download a File

I'm trying to create a web app with Flask that lets a user upload a file and serve them to another user. Right now, I can upload the file to the upload_folder correctly. But I can't seem to find a way to let the user download it back.

I'm storing the name of the filename into a database.

I have a view serving the database objects. I can delete them too.

@app.route('/dashboard', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def dashboard():

    problemes = Probleme.query.all()

    if 'user' not in session:
        return redirect(url_for('login'))

    if request.method == 'POST':
        delete = Probleme.query.filter_by(id=request.form['del_button']).first()
        db.session.delete(delete)
        db.session.commit()
        return redirect(url_for('dashboard'))

    return render_template('dashboard.html', problemes=problemes)

In my HTML I have:

<td><a href="{{ url_for('download', filename=probleme.facture) }}">Facture</a></td>

and a download view :

@app.route('/uploads/<path:filename>', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def download(filename):
    return send_from_directory(directory=app.config['UPLOAD_FOLDER'], filename=filename)

But it's returning :

Not Found

The requested URL was not found on the server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

I just want to link the filename to the object and let the user download it (For every object in the same view)

I was also developing a similar application. I was also getting not found error even though the file was there. This solve my problem. I mention my download folder in 'static_folder':

app = Flask(__name__,static_folder='pdf')

My code for the download is as follows:

@app.route('/pdf/<path:filename>', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def download(filename):    
    return send_from_directory(directory='pdf', filename=filename)

This is how I am calling my file from html.

<a class="label label-primary" href=/pdf/{{  post.hashVal }}.pdf target="_blank"  style="margin-right: 5px;">Download pdf </a>
<a class="label label-primary" href=/pdf/{{  post.hashVal }}.png target="_blank"  style="margin-right: 5px;">Download png </a>

To download file on flask call. File name is Examples.pdf When I am hitting 127.0.0.1:5000/download it should get download.

Example:

from flask import Flask
from flask import send_file
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/download')
def downloadFile ():
    #For windows you need to use drive name [ex: F:/Example.pdf]
    path = "/Examples.pdf"
    return send_file(path, as_attachment=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(port=5000,debug=True)
