If you just want to have the ability to download the file, put a copy in a assets folder. You will be able to link to the file directly from this path.

Data Files are not handled in the same fashion as your posts, documents and pages. Instead, data files are just parsed into Ruby objects for use while rendering of your posts, documents and pages.

To get Jekyll to create physical files from data files, you'll need a Ruby plugin. You can either write the plugin yourselves or get someone to write it for you.
