say you have
db.define_table('myfile',Field('path'))
you can create an action like:
def serve_myfile():
import os
file_id=request.args(0)
row=db.myfile[file_id]
root_path = '/path/to/root/of/paths/'
return
response.stream(open(os.path.join(root_path,row.path),'rb'))
and call it with http://...../serve_myfile/2
