Yes, in the webroot (or subfolder thereof). There is nothing special
needed to call it - just the direct URL. Cake's .htaccess files only
redirect a query through cake if the direct file doesn't exist.
I haven't had problems outputting excel files from a cake action
though, so it can be done. Just make sure you have
Configure::write('debug', 0)
to stop any cake debug logs, or php notices etc from messing up the
file format. And the usual headers of course. Oh, and if you are
rendering a view to generate the excel file, make sure your layout
isn't getting in the way.
