Everything you need is here to access blackberry file system (it needs special feature):

The dl, can be done with Ajax

Does this allows me to get that 'download pop-up' or not ? Because it is an EXISTING website, i cant change any html codes / stuff like that !

It can be done with Ajax .. How ?

I guess you need o check this out:

Thanks for that link ! I'm not sure if it will work, the example code shows that there has to be some coding done, but anyway I'll give it a try

Hmmm... If you are developing a WebWorks application, then there are couple of ways to download files from a website and my earlier reply is one among but a bit advanced.

A simpliest way is invoke browser to handle the url to the file you want to download.

how can i invoke that ?

i managed to get the source code !
so which script is the best to use?

Invoking the browser is actually pretty easy to do
Instructions are at https://bdsc.webapps.blackberry.com/html5/apis/blackberry.invoke.html

I've created a Javascript Extension that allows you to download a file directly from a webworks app (OS5+). If your interested download it from github: https://github.com/dbotelho/blackberry.io.filetransfer
