CF to download a copy of this file

I've found a way to save the text

<cffunction name="saveCSV" access="remote" returntype="void">
<cfargument name="data" type="string" required="yes">

<CFFILE ACTION='Write' file="#expandPath('../user/data.csv')#" OUTPUT='#data#'>

</cffunction>

I can then down load it using a fileReferance.

What I plan to do is save the file as a random string and allow them to download that.

I don't think you can do that with RemoteObject:

I've tried this code but the file doesn't seem to download. It gets saved to the server ok though.

<cffunction name="downloadCSV" access="remote" returntype="void">
<cfargument name="data" type="string" required="yes">

<CFFILE ACTION='Write' file="#expandPath('../userData/data.csv')#" OUTPUT='#data#'>

<cfset yourFileName="data.csv">
<cfcontent type="application/x-unknown">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=#yourFileName#">
<cfheader name="Content-Description" value="This is a tab-delimited file.">
<cflocation url="#expandPath('../userData/data.csv')#">


</cffunction>
