$files = array("index.html","test2.txt");
$index = $_GET["index"];
$filename = $files[$index];

if (is_file($filename)) {
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"");

$fp = fopen($filename, 'rb');
fpassthru($fp);
fclose($fp);
}
else {
echo "File not available.";
}

?>

You'd have to put the PHP on their server, and link to it that way...
