working out of the html directory

[varecha]

Hi, im making a site wich will display some swf files, my boss wants the swf files to be stored out of the html directory, but if i want to show them from the site im having problems, ive been reading about and it seems that by normal means u cant reach higher than the html folder in the tree directory, is this true?
ive been looking around in php.net but i didnt find what i was looking for so i invoke the supremme wisdom and intelligence of the almigthy users of this forum for help :jailbreak
where can i find good information on this?

Anything placed above the "www" or "public_html" directory on yor server will not be viewable by a user.

Why is it you boss does not want them placed there ? Any particular reason behind it ?

i dont know, doesnt make much sense to me either but he made clear he wants them there and hes the boss, so u dont know any way to make them accesible?

thanks for your reply

sounds like your boss doesn't understand that the html directory isn't only for html files.
