You cannot get a file outside of your project unless you symlink it inside the project. This is also a Very Bad Thing(TM) as it may allow attackers to request arbitrary files. What you should do instead is this: 1) Put Data/01/export.txt to the static/ folder inside your app (with the same folder structure if you need it that way) 2) Build the path to your file with /static/ as prefix, i.e. http://127.0.0.1/static/Data/01/export.txt
