First the file must be in the file manager. If you upload your file without the file manager you must import the file
Loader::library("file/importer");
$fi = new FileImporter();
$resp = $fi->import($filePath, $fileName);
if (!($resp instanceof FileVersion)) {
    // upload error
    $errmsg = $fi->getErrorMessage($resp);
} else {
    unlink($filePath);
}

Then just use the File block to display your file.

Hope this help !
