When working with Rstudio Server, it is very easy to download a file from the server with File>More>Export... The web browser will automatically start downloading.
Is there a way to generate this download with an R command ?

Does browseURL do it for you:
browseURL package:utils R Documentation
Load URL into a WWW Browser
Description:
Load a given URL into a WWW browser.
Usage:
browseURL(url, browser = getOption("browser"), encodeIfNeeded = FALSE)
That should fire it up in a browser. To download directly in R, download.file
is what you want, but that hangs the command line until complete.
