I have my localhost WAMP setup like this: C:\wamp\www\sitefolder (I want the new media source to be located at C:\newMediaSource)
and online host linu/apache setup like this: home/hostaccountusername/public_html/sitefolder (the account hosts several sites. so each is placed in a folder. I want the new media source to be located at home/hostaccountusername/newMediaSource)
In both instance what will BasePath URL web root setting be?
I know ../ takes you one level up the folder structure but how do you set this?
If this is outside of the web root, then no URL will make any sense, since you can't access files outside of the web root with a URL. The Base Path should be the full path to the directory you want to use, and its "Relative" should be set to No.

Old thread. FWIW here is a simple snippet to output text files stored in core/share/ above root:
[[getProtectedFile?name=`securitytest.txt`]]
<?php
include $modx->getOption('core_path').'share/'.$name;
