Answer 1

As far as I know you don't have any way of interacting with the file system using javascript from inside the browser. I would imagine that this would be a fairly large security hole if you could. The best I can suggest is to package up your files in a zip file then send that in a response with the content disposition set to attachment, then let the browser handle it for you.

Answer 2

In your page:

<iframe src="getFile.aspx?id=1"/>
<iframe src="getFile.aspx?id=2/>

Then inside getFile.aspx

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

(Note: never tried this myself...)
