Provide a link to the file.

for example <a href="myVideo.mp3">Download my video</a>

But here's the thing: if you want to share .html files, you can't just provide a link to them, because when you click on the link, the user will follow that link!

Here's what to do. If you want to share .html files, either save them as .txt files and instruct the user to save them as .html files, or put a link to the .html files and tell the user to right-click the link and click 'Save Target As...' or 'Save Link As...'.

That's about the only way to download .html files.

For sharing files you use compression tools, so no need to rename any extensions or anything, simply use WinRar, Winzip or any other free compression tool and that's pretty much it. File is smaller, faster to download and easier to upload.
