Download Folder on alternate server?

I know you can move the download folder outside of the webroot:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=280

But is it possible to have the download folder located on an entire different domain/server?

For example:
I would like to move mine from https://www.abc.com/zencart/downloads to https://www.xyz.com/downloadfolderx.

Any reason this would not work?

Thanks in advance

As per the article except:

change

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', 'www.xyz.com/downloadfolderx/');

Actually, Louis is wrong.
It's NOT possible to serve downloads from an external location if you want Zen Cart to handle the security to prevent theft.
