I need help identifying where files are being downloaded using qBittorrent.
Currently the standard path is: /var/db/qbittorrent/conf/qBittorrent/downloads
However, I cannot find this location.
I cannot find it either via an ftp connection or under the Windows browser.
Can someone please help me and set up the path so that it leads to the already existing directories that I can see under Windows.
Thanks for any help.

You need to configure mountpoints in the jail's option. (Visit the Jails page in TrueNAS Core's GUI, and add mountpoints to the jail in question.)

Is this enough?
Won't it mess up my existing directories?
I mean, is such a simple mount enough to access already existing directories, or do they have to create completely new ones.
I don't want to overwrite or destroy existing ones.
That's all I'm concerned with.
Thanks.

A mountpoint doesn't "overwrite" anything. It allows the Jail to access directories outside of the Jail from within the Jail's filesystem tree.

So if you have something like this:
SOURCE: /mnt/mypool/media/movies
DESTINATION: /mnt/NAS2GB/iocage/jails/qbittorrent/root/media/movies

It means any access/reads/writes to the directory /media/movies (from within the Jail) will be read/written to the real directory on the server /mnt/mypool/media/movies

Ehhh
I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but now the path is even better:
/var/db/qbittorrent/conf/qBittorrent/downloads/mnt/NAS1TB/NAS1TB/Downloads
It looks like qBittorrent has appended to its path what is stored in the mount point.

What is the difference between source and destination?
Could someone explain to me what the first is for and what the second is for?
Thank
