How can we save static content outside jar and server that same content to the client?

I realize that this is potentially loaded question, so I'd appreciate any guidance towards right material to read.

So in other words do you want to serve static files from a local file system?

[Tomislav Hofman]

Yes, I would like to serve static files from a local file system. Thank you for correcting me.

Is there a way to do it within ktor? I'm running into issues due to app being packed as jar

You can find the documentation about how to serve static files here. You can either copy embedded files to a local file system or don’t pack them in the first place.
