How to make files download when not under DocumentRoot?

[ca666666]

I have a server that the home partition is not enough, so I add another HD.
I had DocumentRoot under directory /home.
What function I can use that can read files from somewhere
then send to browser as application files, e.g. a .zip file.

Assuming apache, you can use the alias directive to grab files from another place:

Alias /manual/ "/etc/httpd/htdocs/manual/"
