I never said anything about how you store the files. My entire post assumed that the files were stored in CMS. Did you read the sections on CMS in both the User's Guide and the Reference Guide? They describe how URLs for binary files stored in CMS are constructed. Providing such a URL in your portlet display should be sufficient for doing a download - the user simply clicks on the link.
