Download files

I have a webform which lists all files in a directory.

When the user clicks on a file I want it to download. I know it is probably
easy but I cannot figure it out.

If I create a hyperlink then the file opens up in the browser which I do not
want.

The files are either excel, word or txt.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I feel an idiot.

Thank you
