It's not clear from your example but a url fragment (#) is never sent to a
server. so if you're using # in urls (terrible idea) you need to escape it,
otherwise the server will only see /files/id irrespective of what's at the
end of the url
if you're *not* using # in the url - you simply have the path wrong:
path/to/app/webroot/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf
url starts here ...^
i.e. requesting example.com/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf will work.
Use the Html helper or simply, the router to ensure you get the path right:
$url = Router::url('/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf');
$link = $this->Html->link('A pdf', '
/files/some/folder/whatever/foo.pdf');

That's what routes are for ...?
