Can CI access directories above webroot ?

[eluser]charlie spider[/eluser]
How would I edit my htaccess to allow access to folders above the web root ?


This is my current htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|includes|javascript|style|uploads|flash|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
