    I need to download a file from server, used the example of unity found here:
    https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/UnityWebRequest-CreatingDownloadHandlers.html DOWNLOADHANDLER

    Just moded thist two lines
    var uwr = new UnityWebRequest("https://unity3d.com/", UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbGET);
    string path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "unity3d.html");

    to something like:
    var uwr = new UnityWebRequest("https://miserver/mydir/", UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbGET);
    string path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "filename.txt");

    And the only thing I get is the content of index.html file with the filename.txt

    Anyone can help? its quite weird since its a copypaste from unitys code.

    To download file you need to provide URL to that file.
    UnityWebRequest is HTTP client, not web browser, it only downloads what given URL provides, unlike web browser, which looks into contents of downloaded file and does further downloads for images and script (and then execute those scripts which can do further downloads).

    I need to finish this line: ?
    var uwr = new UnityWebRequest("https://unity3d.com/", UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbGET);

    and to put the name of file like:
    var uwr = new UnityWebRequest("https://unity3d.com/filename.txt", UnityWebRequest.kHttpVerbGET);

    filename.txt for an example, the name may even come a generated variable.

    Not an example please, we are asking for the exact name of the file you are trying to download, and the URL. Did you create this file? If it is private information, then please send it in a private message.

    Yes, now the file exists! Now you can download it. Just use that full URL.
