Just upload the file to your server. Now just create a link on your website page to that file. If it's a file that the users browser doesn't know how to interpret it will prompt the user to download the file.

Example. You have placed a zip file containing several items into the root directory of your site. You place the link to that file on your page: < a href="http://www.yoursite.com/items.zip">Click here to download the items.< /a>

Now when a visitor clicks that link they will be prompted to download it.
