Place the below code in your button:

C#

string fileName = "Your Filename";// Replace Your Filename with your required filename

        Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";

        Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + fileName);

        Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath("~/YourFolder/" + fileName));//Place "YourFolder" your server folder Here

        Response.End();

if your source and files are on same server than its simple just give the path in below code

C#

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
           Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=filename.txt");
           Response.WriteFile(path);
           Response.End();

But if your files which you want to download is on other server than host the folder which contains all your files and give the path in above code.
