Hi,

You should use GetDirectUrl method explained here. Basically, by guide you can retrieve media library info object, and pass it to a helper to retrieve the URL.

Hello Dmitry,

I've create the follow code but I still get the same short link. Maybe kentico cms doesn't allow using full reference? Maybe it can be configured somewhere in Kentico?

MediaFileInfoProvider.GetPreviewFilePath(
                    MediaFileInfoProvider.GetMediaFileInfo(file.Id, AppConfig.Sitename))

Thank you

Ok, so this GetDirectUrl method returns you an actual URL of the image. What will be in this URL is defined by a few settings, explained in this documentation article.

For example, if you change in Settings -> Content -> Media URL format from Permanent to Direct file path you'll notice that the same GetDirectUrl method will start returning you a different result. Is this what you are trying to do?

Or do you need to get a file location folder on CMS server so that you can access the file on file system?
