You can't redirect to a non-location. You have to specify a location, so you'll have to move your file under the docroot somewhere.

There's no requirement that it be a published URL, however. Just beware... if you redirect to a nonexisting URL, the URL is revealed in the standard 404 message, so be careful if that might hint at other nearby URLs.
