Does "c:/documents and Settings/desktop/suba/quotation.txt" exist on your local machine? If not, you will not be able to see it.

If you want to serve the file up in your web application, you'll need either to move the file to the web app's directory structure and link to it with a context relative link or build a servlet that can read it from your web server's directory structure and stream it to the browser.
