That file should be in your public space, so you should be able to address it
using, e.g.:

<a href="http://example.org:8888/.../file">file</a>

This assumes that your Web server is set to permit connections to that port.
In Apache, I have one such server that makes images public on port 8081.
Bear in mind that what you do might be dangerous. What are you trying to
achieve?
