title: Drupal: Primary link item to a relative file on the server
body: <p>I want to create a link in my Primary Links menu to link to a file on my server, not a drupal node. If I try to set the path to <code>files/whatever.pdf</code> or <code>./files/whatever.pdf</code> or some variation thereof, Drupal says: <code>The path 'files/whatever.pdf' is either invalid or you do not have access to it.</code></p>
  
  <p>I know I can link with an absolute url like <code>http://mydomain.com/files/whatever.pdf</code> but it seems silly to use an absolute link for what should be a local file that I can link to relatively.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do what I want?</p>
