Michael,
Simply link to the file in question with HTML code, and the built-in
functionality in each type of browser will take care of supplying the
download dialog, either from a right-click menu or by left-clicking the link
(in IE, for example, you get the "open or save" dialog upon left-clicking
the link, and you can use a right-click menu as well in IE - I'm not aware
of any modern browser that will not handle downloads via right-click menus
or left-clicks):
(a href="path/coolapp.exe")Download here(/a)
