You can't.
The client has full control over where downloaded items are stored (and it varies from browser to browser anyway depending on their configuration) - the server cannot influence that at all (except in circumstances which do not occur in 99.999% of conditions)

Think about it: you do not know what kind of device the client is: it could be a PC, Mac, Phone, Tablet, or internet enabled fridge. It may not even have a concept of folders!

Then why does your code send it to the client?

you said it is not possible (client side)
is it possible to save file at server side

Not with that code: that downloads a file from the server to the client.
You need a client initiated upload: see the FileUpload control (MSDN will have an example)
