How can I directly download an attachment

[bhutz]

Hi I was hoping someone could give me some advice with an issue I am having relating to accessing my attachments through WAP.

I would like to provide a direct link on a WAP device to download a file stored in my attachment database. The problem is that the file attachment.php does a few checks to see if you are logged in etc which is more than I want.

I simply want to understand what part of attachment.php I need to strip out and put into a new php page which I can use to generate a link to the attached file in my database/file store.

Anyone done anything like this already?
