SecurityAssist to secure entire folder rather than specific page?

So I've been experimenting with the idea but I'm having trouble with the idea of storing documents in the web root. The ../ in the public_html/ doesn't seem to get you to another folder in the web root.

https://www.touchtronics.com/test.html

This has the link <a href="../testsecure/success.html">Test it here</a> which, if we're storing the files in a folder called /testsecure/ in the root directory, you'd have to get to those files with a link to download like that. I've created that page in the root directory, but the ../ doesn't seem to get you to the root, you remain in the public_html/ directory.

Is this the right line of thinking and if so what am I missing?
