How to Link to a file in ASP.NET MVC 4 using Razor?

Question

I'm making a web app using ASP.NET MVC 4.
It lets people upload files.
I want to list all the files from a user with a link to open/download each file.

I have the virtual path to each file (e.g. :~/Folder/file.txt), how can I generate the link with razor?
I tried with @Href but it doesn't render anything, same thing with @Url.Content.
I tried also without using razor but I don't think it's a good way...
Your help would be welcome! Thanks!

@Exception, You save files to a database!?!?! Well that's expensive... Why not something like Azure Storage? Of just a directory? — LockTar

I don't know why @Href didn't work but it's the way to do it!
Here is a sample code:

@foreach (var s in Model)
{
    <tr>
        <td>@s.Id.ToString()</td>
        <td>@s.Title</td>
        <td>
            @if (s.FilePath!= null && s.FilePath!= "")
            {
                <a href="@Href(s.FilePath)">link</a>
            }
        </td>
    </tr>
}
