2. Inside the file, type the URL of the parent folder of the files you want to access. Save the file and close it.
3. Type the command: /install getpath
4. The URL you typed should get prompted.
5. Type the command: /install download <file>, where <file> is the file to download.
6. The download should start. If you get an error, try double-checking if the file exists. If the problem persists, post the error in the comments.
7. Reload the server (with /reload) to apply the effects.

Note: You can also use /install setpath <path> to change the active path, but be sure path.txt is closed.
