I'm working on a College Application project.

I want to ask on how to download the files that previously uploaded by user.

Here's the clear view : 1. User will upload the files. 2. Controller will handle the request and save the name of the files into database. 3. ?? How admin can download the file ???

I try to access the localhost/system/files/upload.doc but doesn't got any luck.

You can take a look at this code called MediaView which is no longer in used (to get an idea how it works):

http://api.cakephp.org/2.2/source-class-MediaView.html#23-242

As of now since MediaView which is no longer in used there is a new function called Sending files:

http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers/request-response.html#cake-response-file

I try to access the localhost/system/files/upload.doc but doesn't got any luck.

I think you need to modify the permission on the htaccess file (I'm not sure it's going to work).
