If I'm understanding this correctly, what you'll need to do is specify the
absolute path (/srv/www/vhosts/domain.com/files) and then set the "Download
Method" to private (Drupal serves the files instead of the webserver). These
changes, by the way, are made on the admin/settings/file-system page...
