It's not possible (as far as I know) to access a file on another server which is held outside the website space on that server. However, LDM's access to remote files is 'secure' in the following sense:

- provided force_redirect is set to 0, there is not way for the user to discover where the file is held, because it is streamed through LDM
- you can set up entries in LDM with username/password in order to access http protected areas on the remote server.
