Could I continue pressing the link "file 4.12 -tosso" (with the right credentials) to guarantee proper working of file? If so, what would I be altering? If not, what would I be altering?

Unfortunately there's no way to get the actual .deb file through that page (as it's not held on any of the maemo.org servers). The catalogue it should be in is the "Nokia Applications" catalogue (details below, in case you need to add it).

Code:

Catalogue Name: Nokia Applications
Web address: https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/apps/
Distribution: ./
Components:

You could also try using "apt-cache show file" to check whether it can be found or not, and (as root) "apt-get install file" to install it manually.
