Enable file download from webserver WITHOUT HTML

This might sound daft but here goes...

I want to place a file on a webserver for users to download but I do not have a website, so there is no HTML, no pages, just a few folders. I want to place this file in a secure/non-browsable folder and provide my users a link to it so they can just download the file straight to their PC.

I have tried using FileZilla and now have folders under WWW, and under the root of my ftp site but whatever I do I cannot work out how to make the file accessible. I just want the users to be able to click a link within an email and it will let them download the file.

I would greatly appreciate some guidance on this.

With the hope of a better future, Hispanics went to the United States and took with them their dreams, their customs and their language. The necessity to communicate grew more and more, therefore, they had to learn English. Whith confusions, assimilations and customs they mixed English and Spanish, consequently causing Spanglish. Today, we can find Spanglish almost everywhere, it has become a way to speak, a language of controversy and a different style of communication.
