JiFile and JDownload - by: Hit Man

Hi,

I trying to index about 1000 pdf documents which are currently published using the extension JDownloads. When I try to point JiFile to that directory, I get te message:

The filesystem path to be indexed must be under the root appliction: ../

1. Is there a way to point JiFile to that directory?
2. How can I change the filesystem path, because the option to edit it disappeared.
