Thanks for the answers!
Case 1:
If you just want to send back a file URL to let your users decide whether to download it or not, you can simply put that file in your
public
folder and send them the link: e.g.http://{{YOUR_HOST}}/filename.ext
This will work just fine until you have the static server configured properly.
Case 2:
If you want to forcibly make users download your files - rather than just visiting them in the browser - you may want to use the
attachment
helper which automatically sets proper response headers for downloading files.ctx.response.attachment('public/filename.ext')
