I have a custom field as multi line text field.
When user submit the form, CRED will create a unique text file from this field(text file contains the content from the field).

Then Toolset Views will show this custom field as a link to the new file(filename.txt).
I expected to see: custom field name

How can this be achieved?

Thanks very much.

CRED will not allow you to create .txt files, this is something you can do with Custom Codes.

Perhaps you can hook your Custom Code into the CRED API:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/

These CRED API hooks allow you to run your Custom Code on any state of the Form (submit, success, and so on)

Then, once you know where the .txt file is stored, you can update a Custom Field (URL, for example) and display this Field in Views.
