Create a script that reads the contents of a file after sending headers
eg:

header("Content-type: text/plain");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=downloaded.txt");
readfile("downloaded.txt");
exit();

The downloaded.txt can be any file subject to sending the correct
headers and IE
and other browsers will pop up a download (save) window.

See your mime.types file for headers for each file type.
