There are two ways to access non-Wiki files in PmWiki. 1) Use the "upload" mechanism (aka the "Attach:" markup). http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Uploads http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadsAdmin 2) Put the files on your webserver (that is, places where your webserver can access them) and use the "Path:" markup. Where did you install PmWiki? Assuming, for example, that you installed it in /var/www/htdocs/pmwiki then the webserver would know how to access files in the /var/www/htdocs directory. So suppose you created the /var/www/htdocs/data directory, and put your non-Wiki files there. To access the file /var/www/htdocs/data/mypdf.pdf you would use the following markup: Path:/data/mypdf.pdf Is that as clear as mud?
