Answer 1

Make sure the folder used for uploading files have sufficient permissions and you can use Cakephp Media view to download files. For your reference,check this.
Downloading files using media view in CakePHP
Use image name or image id as an argument in function download and change path to
'path' => APP . 'uploads' . DS
"uploads" folder should be inside webroot directory.
