What errors is in my code?

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
    response.setContentType("multipart/form-data");
    String file_name=new String("c:\\1.txt");
    String data=new String("data");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="+file_name);
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println(file_name);
}
