remote server project and MVC

I'm working on a website with a MVC structure, ie I have a public_html/ folder with just a simple index.php inside, and a include/ folder where I'll put all my files.
I want to work remotely with the files directly on the server, so I create a remote server project.

But because it wants to validate the phpinfo, it doesn't let me set up my root folder as something else than the public_hml.
And then, in the editor, it doesn't let me add files that are not under this root.

So I cannot work on my include folder.

Any work-around?

    If I understand correctly,

    If I understand correctly, the files you want to work on are not inside the public_html directory, correct? A work around is to create a symbolic link inside the public_html that points to the directory you want to work on.

    If you are concern about security, you can set it so only your user can access the directory and not apache.

    ok I will try this work
