Hi and welcome to DEVPPL.
It can be done exactly like you link to another site, like this:
| Code: |
| <a href="filename.zip">Click here to download</a> |
A problem could be that browsers support some filetypes, like image (.jpg .gif and so on). Then you have to ask your visitors to right click on the link and click on Save target as.. But that's not needed for filytypes that browsers can't read, for example .zip or .rar |

If you had a process you could offer as a download you uplaod that and instead of using the URL for the zip you use the files URL like
I'll use freewebs as a example.
| Code: |
| <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/processname.exe">click here to download</a> |
