What kind of file? What I do (in PHP, but the principle is the same) is to pass the filename linked to a page:
download.php?filename=something.ext And on download.php I get the file ID based on its name, check if the user has permissions to access it, and then send some headers to serve it for download or view (if it's an image). The files are uploaded to a directory not served by the web-server, and download.php fopen() it, fread() it and the headers take care of the rest.
