Hi Aaron,
[..]
The download files are in a directory protected by htaccess which it is my understanding that PHP can go underneath htaccess to get access to the files. My problem is where do I put this directory? I was already told to put it outside the web root directory,

Both are good methods to protect your files. And yes, you can access your files because PHP is working on the servers side and doesnt need to obey the .htaccess restrictions you defined for user/clients.
With .htaccess protection you can access them by yourself later using login/password combination.
Outside your DocumentRoot you won't have the possibility and without any help of serverside processes you will not be able to access them.
That way you also dont need to worry about any .htaccess settings :-)
