well, the only way i know how to do this is by using a scripting language like PERL, PHP, ASP, JSP, exc...

for php use this:
PHP Code:
<?php 
$file 
'path/your_file.xxx'
header('Content-Type: application/x-download'); 
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' $file); 
print 
file_get_contents($file); 
?>
