The <s:file.../> tag is for uploading files. Period. It's not a general-purpose "enter a filename here" tag.
We just went through this (or at least tried to) with somebody else. You're getting the enctype message because a file upload demands a multipart encoding. There is no tag for *downloading* a file. That's handled by the browser. There are any number of tutorials on the web for how to download a file from a web application. Struts 2 provides the "stream" response, or it can be done manually. The browser opens the save-or-open dialog box.
