Error: Source contains paths outside of root

[COLABORATI]

I would like to copy a ../path/outside of the current directory with the gulpfile.js to a host. It is really ok in this case to have the directory above the current one. I get this error:
Error: Source contains paths outside of root

Other npm modules like 'del' offer a force: true option for this use case.

Oh, btw when I use ../path/outside as src, what is ok in rsync, the source path is reduced to . in the resulting rsync command, like this:
rsync -anRvz --progress --delete . host:/target/directory
so I used the path module to resolve the path gulp.src(path.resolve(dist))

To resolve issue use rsync options like:

gulp.src('../path/outside/**')
  .pipe(rsync({
    root: '../path/outside',
    destination: '/target/directory'
  }));
