Create a link to a .cfm page that uses the cfcontent tag to download the
file.
e.g <a href="download.cfm/filename.ext/?file=Filename.ext">Click here to
download the file</a>
(put the filename.ext after the link to the .cfm -- this will make the
browser default to the actual filename as opposed to download.cfm)
download.cfm:
<cfcontent type="unknown" file="c:\Directory\#url.file#" deletefile="No">
