Geoprocessing service to return a file

[VictorTey]

Hi,

How can I get a geoprocessing service to return a file?

I published a GP

if __name__ == '__main__':

    file = open(arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace+ "/" + "test.txt","w")
    file.write("why")
    file.close()
    arcpy.SetParameter(0, file.name)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

':

however i kept receiving the 

 "value": "d:\\arcgisserver\\directories\\arcgisjobs\\script_gpserver\\j94a7e5b06f3342deb0ebcb65467f63fe\\scratch/test.txt"

I can see the file in the scratch folder but i need to return the file some how.

I did try to access the file via different permutation of 

https://example.com/arcgis/rest/services/Script/GPServer/Script/jobs/j94a7e5b06f3342deb0ebcb65467f63... to no avail

Can someone kindly assist.

This is super helpful. I couldn't for the life of me find documentation or other support indicating how to write a layer package or other file to an output parameter and how the server could send that back to the client. Even my ESRI support wasn't aware of this option and was suggesting my server save my output to a network folder. Thanks so much!
