you can direct link the hyperlink with the file if you know the address but this is limited by the browser. eg. if pdf reader is installed on the client then the pdf will not be downloaded instead it will be shown. A good solution would be to have a seperate page for downloading files. just pass filename in querystring and in the pageload event just outpit the file in response stream.This way you can use url say dwnld.aspx?filename.ext
Now you can generate urls via the above logic.
