# Serve Static Assets From Custom Directory
When you new up a Phoenix project, an `endpoint.ex` file will be generated.
This file is full of different plugs for handling incoming traffic. The
`Plug.Static` declaration specifies how your application will handle and
serve requests for static files.
```elixir
plug Plug.Static,
at: "/", from: :my_app, gzip: false,
only: ~w(css fonts images js favicon.ico robots.txt)
```
The `from` options declares where these static files are located. In this
case it references our application (`:my_app`) as the target which will
translate to its `priv/static` directory.
If you instead want to serve your files from a different, custom directory,
you can replace it with the path to that directory.
```elixir
plug Plug.Static,
at: "/", from: "priv/my_frontend/static", gzip: false,
only: ~w(css fonts images js favicon.ico robots.txt)
```
