How to upload and link to downloadable documents

An example of this situation would be a restaurant that wants potential employees to access an employment application, download it, and fill it out by hand. Another example would be a business or organization that wants to distribute a more complicated file like an Excel spreadsheet that contains sortable financial information in it.
