Hyperlink to the file once you've uploaded it.

If the file is "map.jpg", upload that to your site much as you would a web page, then simply link to the file "map.jpg" and when people click link it will download.

It also helps to use a program like winrar or winzip to compress the file. This is especially true with exe's. Some web browsers consider exe's to be malicious, and don't like downloading them. If you put it in a .zip or .rar file, that makes the browser happy.

If the good lord had intended us to go outside or have a social life, he wouldn't have invented the internet.
