Hi,

I have to create another subdirectory in order to make this module working but i have all files in main directory that is

sites/default/files/

so is it possible to add files from this directory??

Yes. Just fill in the root dir name inside webfm/settings for the module and each role with access to webfm.

i dont know how to configure it maybe its because my download method is set to private?

when i try to set path it says

The directory sites/default/files/sites/default/files does not exist.

so when i just leave blank and than edit a node and open webfm it says root directory is not set? i really dont understand how to setup root path :S

You should start by reading the readme.txt within the module. The next step is to set the path at .../admin/settings/file-system. Then set the root paths in .../admin/settings/webfm

hmm path at .../admin/settings/file-system is already set to

sites/default/files

now i want webfm to be able to browse this directory and pick up files from it and than attach to node

i read readme already and it says i will have to create a directory under file system part that is ../admin/settings/file/webfm (or anything ) but i dont want to create any other directory and i dont want this module to control downloads i just need it to pick up files from file directory which is the default file system directory in drupal and than attach it to node i am still confused lol

No can do. Webfm operates on a subdir of the base files directory only. This is to prevent contention with how other modules expect the files directory to function.
