You cound not send something for Server to Client. Client have to request, Server have to respond.

This is a rather simple task. You can just place your file into web site folder (~/sites/mysite/simple.docx), if appache is configured and you requested http://mysite/simple.docx, file would be returned as response.

WebClient class DownloadFile method is very suitable for that.
