How to download a file that was previously uploaded? I can upload a file in the backend side, but how to download this file from the frontend side?

Model Item.php

public $attachMany = [
        'my_files'             => ['System\Models\File', 'order' => 'sort_order'],
        'featured_images'   => ['System\Models\File', 'order' => 'sort_order'],
    ];

fields.yaml

    my_files:
      tab: File
      label: File
      type: fileupload
      options: 
        mode: file

Using PHP:

// Get the file object (many ways to do this, it is a normal relation)
$file = $item->featured_images()->first();

// If the file is public, this will return the direct location
echo $file->getPath(); 

// If the file is private, you will need to return the contents via a script
// This will include the necessary header to download the file
echo $file->output();

In Twig:

<a class="btn btn-danger btn-lg" href="{{ item.myfiles.first.path }}">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-download"></span>
         Follow
</a>

request: http://october.blenderspace.com/uploads/public/53c/593/963/53c5939634f2e654977340.blend it returns an error: Page not found (404)

I got the same error too. Any resolution

This is because the file extension blend is not whitelisted in the htacces in the root of october. Currently whitelisted are:

##
## White listed folders and files

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.js
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.map
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.ico

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !themes/.*
RewriteRule ^ index.php [L,NC]

You might change the .htaccess by adding RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.blend before the RewriteRule but I'm not sure if it's overwritten when the core gets updated...

As far as I'm aware October doesn't overwrite your .Htacces. At least not with nginx as it's located in the server block.

also getPath() method also shows method does not exists in controller
