I want users to download files I can store in my server. I created a folder at /var/discourse/, where I uploaded a .doc file so that users can download it just by clicking on the link, example https://www.example.com/forms/theformpath.doc
Where is my server I can put files to be accesible using my discourse site if this is not working in /var/discourse?
Attach them to posts. From there you can either link to the posts which contain the files or the attachments themselves. Discourse isn’t document management and doesn’t expose the webroot.
