Thanks Bob, yes it works, just to share my code with everyone , in link to file

 https://myweb/trabajos/?option=com_chronoforms6&chronoform=descarga&file=file1.pdf

and in CF a form called "descarga", the key of this method is that /trabajos/ is a private folder so only registered user can acces to it and files are in the /doc/ folder , same place that /httpdocs/ folder, where only php program can access, I understand thtat this is the most secure method

if($this->data['file']){
$path_root=JPATH_SITE;
$parts = explode('/', $path_root);
array_pop($parts);
$this->data['path2'] = implode('/', $parts).'/docs/'.$this->data['file'];
}
