What about referencing files in the files directory?</blockquote></div><br>Sorry I forgot to answer this part.. base_path() would solve it in your example <?php print base_path(). file_directory_path() .'/whatever.zip'; ?> but it's a wrong approach, file_create_url() is the correct function to use here as it will honor the private/public download option in the site configuration.
