GPService place output file in download folder

Question

Hi there!

I am currently trying to develop a python script which output should be downloadable as a file. It should behave just like a printing service, that is, sending back a link to the result.  The issue is that I still haven't found out how to copy the result  to the output folder and then make a link pointing to it. Do I have to send that path as an input parameter? Is there a special name - arcpy.env.outputfolder or similar- that would help me?

Thank you very much in advance

Complicated steps...but it does demonstrate how to use the scratch folder to present the client a download option.

It is better to save the file on Scratch Folder (arcpy.env.scratchFolder). As Jonathan Quinn  said if you set the output parameter as File type then once the task is completed in the client, it should prompt the browser to ask you to download the file.
