Try placing the file under the 'public' directory, the link using textile, e.g.:
  "this file":/my_file.doc

The forward slash is important. Don't use subdirectories either. All
this is because the way rails/instiki handles request routing - you're
asking something at the top-level which isn't mapped to any known
controller, so it checks for files under /public.

On a happier note, Instiki will be getting file uploads capacity soon.

HTH,
