     public function downloadAction() {

           $this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();
            $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender();

            $filename = $this->_request->getParam('filename');

            $filePath = folder/path to file/ . $filename;

            if (file_exists($filePath)) {
                $fileName = basename($filePath);
                $fileSize = filesize($filePath);


                header("Cache-Control: private");
                header("Content-Type: application/stream");
                header("Content-Length: " . $fileSize);
                header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=" . $fileName);


                readfile($filePath);
                exit();
            } else {
                die('The provided file path is not valid.');
            }
        }

Simply in your html side

<a href="path to your controller/downloadaction/filename/<name of file you want to download>">Download</a>
