title: responsive filemanager upload above public
body: <p>I'm trying to implement responsive filemanager in a secured environment where it's user have to login to access a file library.
  To make sure users only have access to the uploaded files when the login session is active I've placed the filemanagers uploadfolder above the public_html.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$config = array(
  /*
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------
  | DON'T TOUCH (base url (only domain) of site).
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------
  | without final / (DON'T TOUCH)
  */
  'base_url' =&gt; ((isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) &amp;&amp; $_SERVER['HTTPS'] &amp;&amp; ! in_array(strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']), array( 'off', 'no' ))) ? 'https' : 'http') . '://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],
  
  /*
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------
  | path from base_url to base of upload folder
  |-------------------------------------------------------------------
  | with start and final /
  */
  'upload_dir' =&gt; '/../Uploads/content/',
  
  /*
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------
  | relative path from filemanager folder to upload folder
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------
  | with final /
  */
  'current_path' =&gt; '../../../../Uploads/content/',
  
  /*
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------
  | relative path from filemanager folder to thumbs folder
  |--------------------------------------------------------------------
  |
  | with final /
  | DO NOT put inside upload folder
  */
  'thumbs_base_path' =&gt; '../../../../Uploads/thumbs/',
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When making use of the above configurations I keep getting the error below: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>There is an error! The upload folder there isn't. Check your config.php file.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The structure of the application is as following:</p>
  
  <p>-Uplevel from public </p>
  
  <p>--httpdocs (public_html)</p>
  
  <p>---myapplication </p>
  
  <p>----admin  </p>
  
  <p>-----Libs</p>
  
  <p>-------Filemanager directory</p>
  
  <p>Please keep in mind that the uplevel contains a "uploads" directory which is the upload folder.</p>
  
  <p>Is it even possible to have the upload folder above the public_html?
  I tried different paths, also to set server path as base_path but still no results.</p>
  
  <p>Would be great if you could help me to figure this out.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
