# File link – wrong path

 * Hello,
    When you right-click on an uploaded file and select ‘Get info’ There 
   is a line titled “Path:” and a line titled “Link:” The “Path” shows the correct
   partial URL (documents/aircraft/r44_n129af/test.pdf), however when you click 
   on the “test.pdf” URL beside “Link” the ‘documents’ directory of the full URL
   is omitted. This leaves me with a broke URL ([https://airfirst-llc.com/aircraft/r44_n129af/test.pdf](https://airfirst-llc.com/aircraft/r44_n129af/test.pdf)–
   where it should be [https://airfirst-llc.com/](https://airfirst-llc.com/)**documents/**
   aircraft/r44_n129af/test.pdf)
 * From a technical standpoint, this isn’t a major issue, as I can easily add it
   into the URL myself, but figured I’d bring it up anyways as it could confuse 
   less tech savvy clients.
 * I currently have the root path set to ‘/home/customer/www/airfirst-llc.com/public_html/
   documents/’, as I want to keep my client from messing with anything in the root
   directory.
 * All the best!
    Chris

 * Just to let you know; A new version of Filester has been released, it fixes a
   lot of bugs and known issues.
 * I do hope this works for you now! And do not worry much if you still experience
   some issue, just let us know at anytime.
 * Thank you.

 * Hello,
    The Files URL in the settings (I believe this is new?) allows me to bypass
   the issue now. Thanks for that!
 * I did set the Root Path back to default, removing the “documents/” directory 
   I added to it. Then the “Link” URL in the file info popup works as it should,
   but if I edit the Root Path by adding on another directory, the “Link” URL breaks
   unless I have the Files URL setting updated to include my added directory.
 * Just thought I’d provide some additional information. Thanks again!
    Chris

 * Hi [@rotornut44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rotornut44/) ,
 * Root Path and Files URL need to be the same.
 * Cheers!
