Filepath outside of Joomla root possible? - by: Maranomedia

Hi, we´re usig JiFile and Phoca Download inside a joomla intranet solution. Because of different security reasons we use an absolute filepath which is outside the joomla root folder. The not so very surprising effect is, that JiFile has no filesystem folder, which has to be inside the joomla root. To fill the path field inside the JiFile options with an absolute path does not work (though JiFile finds the folder).

So my question is, what files I have to modificate to make it possible that JiFile is accepting an absolute path like

D:/downloads/

or

../../downloads/

Any help or hint is appreciated!
