Hello Good Day here's my code to upload the file.

protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string fileName = "";

string uploadPath = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SubPic"].ToString();
if (FileUpload.HasFile)
{
string fileExtension = Path.GetExtension(FileUpload.PostedFile.FileName);
fileName = "Comment-" + Issue.ReportedOn.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss") + fileExtension;
FileUpload.SaveAs(uploadPath + "\\" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUpload.FileName));
Label1.Text += "Location of the file: " + uploadPath + "\\" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(FileUpload.FileName);

LinkButton is like a normal button with CSS like an anchor Tag.
try this

protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           string filePath = "Your file path from the folder";
           Response.ContentType = ContentType;
           Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(filePath));
           Response.WriteFile(filePath);
           Response.End();
       }
