Downloading files

Hi

I'm building a website in Dreamweaver and I'm learning as I go.
As part of my site, I want people to be able to download files from the website, on demand. Can anyone give me a clue as to how I learn how to do this?
I want visitors to be able to click a comand button and the choose a location on their own computer to download the file to. Torrent sites and manufaturing sites do this all the time but I can't find any info on the method of setting this up. If you can help it will be greatly appreciated.

Jeff
