Yep, that happens a lot, especially when someone tries to deploy their IDE-built project to another environment. If you were to describe what the "specified folder" is, your project's relationship to it, and your ultimate requirements for the project and its resources, including the specified folder, then we might be able to offer some suggestions on what to do.
Think about how the relative path works. Look up the path/file api and see if you can work out a way to "see" folders/files around your project's directory. That's what I did.
