Try the following:
create a link to a script download.php which will read the file (from
anywhere on the disk) and send it to the user like this:
header("Content-Type: application/force-download");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$orig_filename);
readfile($filename);
exit;
This should give him a download dialog box and set the filename in the
dialog box to $orig_filename.
hope this helps
