   I can set FA to view folder out of my wordpress root with ../folderoutsidewordpress
   but I cannot upload files, it throws an error
 * Is it possible to upload files with FA outside wordpress?
    I can do it with other
   plugins with setting define( ‘UPLOADS’, ‘../folderoutsidewordpress’ );
 * Thanks
