I added a directory to the root of my site '/projects'. In the 'projects' folder are 'index.html' and a folder called '/3rdParty'.

the site root is:http://dylanvalentine.com/

I can see the index.html if I go to:http://dylanvalentine.com/projects/...

but,http://dylanvalentine.com/projects/3rdParty/... (and all files in it) return a c5 404.
It does not matter if 'Pretty URLs' are enabled or not.
example: http://dylanvalentine.com/projects/3rdParty/js/angular.min.js... is on the server, just not accessable.

I have followed the discussion at:
http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/usage/adding-a-folder/...
it does not help.

is there any way to get concrete to ignore 'real' directories so they are not part of the rewrite rules?
